With the Spurs owning the Raptors top-6 protected 1st round pick, and all of the recent discussion on whether the Raptors are going to get better or whether they’re going to tank a bit if/when they trade Pascal Siakam, I figured it was a good time for a friendly statistical reminder:
Unless the Raptors make the playoffs, nothing is set in stone until lottery night.
The Raptors currently hold the 8th worst record in the league (highlighted below). Depending on where they finish the season, here are the odds that the first round pick will convey to the Spurs:
1st or 2nd worst: 0%
3rd worst: 7%
4th worst: 19%
5th worst: 36%
6th worst: 54.2%
7th worst: 70.6%
**8th worst: 71.1%**
9th worst: 79.8%
10th worst: 86.1%
11th worst: 90.6%
12th worst: 92.8%
13th worst: 95.3%
14th worst: 97.6%

With the Barrett and Quickly trade, they will be better. Id wager the pick will 100% convey
