Well, after catching up on a bit of NBA news this morning on espn.com, I made my way to the Lottery and Mock Draft simulator there. Because what else is there after as poor of a performance/effort as I have seen this season.
How many tries would it take for me to get the Wolves their first-ever No. 1 selection? Who would be the most likely selection according to the ESPN lotto gods?
I spun the wheel (OK, hit the refresh button) 20 times and this is what I came up with:
- It took until the eighth try for the Wolves to win the thing and get the No. 1 overall pick.
- The average of the 20 pulls was a draft position of 5.95.
- I got the top pick once and the second pick twice.
- Wake Forest point guard Jeff Teague and UConn center Hasheem Thabeet were the "winners" in terms who the Wolves will select. Teague was the selection on eight occasions and Thabeet was selected seven times. The other five picks broke down like this: Oklahoma combo guard Willie Warren (2), Spanish PG Ricky Rubio (2) and Blake Griffin once. Not sure if Rubio is actually going to enter the draft.
Will any of it happen? Who knows. But it is better than thinking about that nonsense at Target Center last night.
