Looks like we have the “tiebreaker” in favor of the Spur’s lottery odds, meaning as long as we lose to the mavs who will try and throw the game tomorrow as well, we’re locked into #2 odds. This is significant because #2 odds can only fall down to #6 whereas #3 odds can fall all the way to 7th pick.

Draft odd tiebreakers are determined by coin flips.
I mean at this point if we can get the second worst then sure. But again, I think this fan base is getting a little too worked up about the difference between 6th and 7th in this particular draft. There’s going to be guys available at 7th that some people on this subreddit have as high as fourth or fifth. There’s just very little clarity to this year’s lottery outside some of the obvious candidates. I think it’s going to come down to a lot of personal preference from general managers and scouts in regards to skill sets and styles of players versus overall potential. Because outside the Thompson twins and whitmore, who are probably the three riskiest players who are going to go in the lottery, everyone else has what appears to be a pretty similar ceiling of somewhere between solid starter and lower end all star.
As long as the Spurs don’t do something cheeky and reach on someone who is likely to be there at the end of the lottery (like GG Jackson, JHS, or whitehead for example) I’m going to be pretty happy on whoever we get at 7 even if the apocalypse does happen and we slipped that far.
Good info
Yes, from “only down” to the 6th pick instead of “all the way” to that lowly 7th pick.
Pop is so good he knows when to win and when to tank and successfully pulls off both
Aren’t the draft odds the same for the bottom 3?
