Ahead of next month’s NBA draft lottery, the final few pieces of the equation that will determine which teams pick atop a loaded draft have fallen into place. And the Jazz are Monday’s big winner, thanks to random chance.
Utah finished tied with the Kings for the fourth-worst record in the NBA at 22–60. Both squads have an 11.5% chance to land the top pick and a 45.2% chance to land in the top four, which are the picks determined in the lottery.
