It doesn't work that way.

The have a certain number of "tanks" (I thinks it's three), each with a fill set of numbers. They draw one from each tank coming up with a four digit number.

Each possible 3 digit number is assigned to a team based on the probabilities assigned. Tampa gets 250 numbers, Kings get 188, down through Carolina, who get 5.

The team that has the winning number moves up a maximum of 4 positions. The teams they leapfrog move back one position.

That's it.

(please note that the "three tanks" analogy isn't necessarily the exact way they do it, but the basic mechanics of the process is accurate. 3 tanks is the fewest they can use based on the percentages.)

It's more like the daily 3 drawing because each tank has numbers 0 - 9.

And what type of "analysis" will this be? On how to trade away perfectly good prospects so his team could "win now"? He's the expert.

My gut feeling says that Atlanta wins the lottery.

I don't like the idea of it, but that's what my gut tells me.

they should just hold the first half of the first round of the draft too so that us non playoff teams will have something to bitch about.

I'm nervous kinda like when you havent studied for an exam, and the reality sets in that you will fail the test when you sit down in the classroom.
