  1. I came in being aware of the lottery process for years. Personally I don't think the majority of draft lotteries are rigged and while this one does feel a bit off to me just like the Hurricanes moving up to 2 in 2018 amidst their ownership issues and the lawsuits surrounding was a little suspect, there are only 3 lotteries across sports I'm convinced were fixed: Patrick Ewing to the Knicks, LeBron James to the Cavaliers and Sidney Crosby to the Penguins. Most else I believe to be on the up and up.

  2. To spice up the lottery, what I would do is to bring the lottery the night before the actual draft! Imagine: a team that finish let’s say 7th and learn they are drafting second the night before! They will have no choice to reevaluate their plan for the draft day!

    Would be amazing to see a team that draft 2nd instead of 7-8-9 and they don’t know if they should get Michkov haha! They amount of pressure would make some team do weird things and it would be amazing to watch it go down!!!

  3. Isn’t it very unusual that not one team changed positions from 4 – 16? Then all of a sudden the top three all moved. What are the odds that 4-16 draft position remained the same which was the final standings. What are the odds?
