Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Ok so I Googled it


I feel like the odds of this coin flip actually mattering are really really low.

LETS GO BOYS! Won that tie breaker, now let’s win the lottery!
 
I expect the 2nd or 3rd pick. I just can't see the NBA giving the Cavs ANOTHER number 1 pick. That said, the 2nd or 3rd selection was about where I saw the Cavs ending up last October so the tank succeeded in that regard.
 
Really winning the coin flip only helps if our lotto numbers come up before the Suns with the new odds. In that respect it's a double edged sword. Remember we lost getting AD and end up with Waiters because we won the coin flip.

Now in terms of worst case scenario, we are guaranteed a top 6 player and most have project this draft to have 6 players above the rest so that is the good thing of winning the coin toss.
 
does that mean 100% the #2 pick?

No, it means we are in the 2nd lotto odds spot. Basically top 3 all have the same odds so it really doesn't matter other than the set of lotto numbers the team gets. Getting the 2nd lotto spot guarantees at least a top 6 draft pick, if we lost the coin flip we could have dropped to #7.
 
No it means we are slotted #2 so our floor is #6.

It also means that if 3 teams (other than the Suns) jump over us, but the Knicks get a top 4 pick, we pick 5th instead of 6th.

Hell yeah just heard the news,,,I know Zion/Morant/Barrett would be a lock top 3,,,who does everyone think is the next 3 in line?
I guess we have 32 days to debate that,,Maybe Culver/Hunter/White? I have no idea.

The funny thing is most draft sites that list tiers seems to all agree that Zion, Morant, and Barrett are top 3 and the tier 3 rounds out the top 6. Those 3 though seem to be different for everyone.

Like Hachimura is in that group for a couple people and in the teens for others. I see White, Culver, and Culver listed between 4-8. Reddish is up in the top 6 in some mock drafts.
