NBA lottery draw: The top three are all unpopular, three winners and three losers are born, are the Mavericks and the three giants coming?

Basketball

NBA playoffs are in full swing. On the other hand, the 2025 NBA lottery ceremony was held in Chicago, and the final draw result has been released, and the top three were completely unpopular. It can be said that some companies are happy and some are sad. Let’s take a look at the specific lottery results and the ownership of lotto. NBA Lotto draw: The top three are all unpopular, three winners and three losers are born, are the Mavericks and the three giants coming?

The 14 teams participating in the lottery are: Jazz, Wizards, Hornets, Pelicans, 76ers, Nets, Raptors, Spurs, Suns, Trail Blazers, Mavericks, Bulls, Kings, and Hawks; the Hawks' sign is in the hands of the Spurs, so 13 teams are actually present. It is worth mentioning that among these teams, the Jazz have never won the No. 1 pick in history. Before the lottery draw begins, the probability of each team winning the No. 1 pick is as follows: Utah Jazz 14%, Washington Wizards 14%, Charlotte Hornets 14%, New Orleans Pelicans 12.5%, and Philadelphia 76ers: 10.5%.

As the lottery results were released one after another, the lottery results were very unsightly! The teams that won the 4th to 14th pick in the first round are: 4. Hornets, 5. Jazz, 6. Wizards, 7. Pelicans, 8. Nets, 9. Raptors, 10. Suns (sent to Rockets), 11. Trail Blazers, 12. Bulls, 13. Kings (sent to Hawks), 14. Hawks (sent to Spurs). The Jazz (5), Wizards (6), and Pelicans (7) with the highest probability fell out of the top four, while the 76ers, Spurs and Mavericks entered the top four.

Winner 1: The Mavericks were lucky to win the No. 1 pick with a 1.8% chance, the second pick belonged to the Spurs, 76ers won the Tanhua lottery, and the Hornets won the fourth pick. Data shows that since the lottery draw began in 1985, the team that won the No. 1 pick with the lowest probability was the Magic in 1993. At that time, they drew the No. 1 pick with a 1.52% chance and selected Chris Webber in the subsequent draft. At the same time, this is the lowest probability of winning the No. 1 pick since the current lottery draw rules were implemented in 2019.

The No. 1 Popularity this year is Duke star Flag, whose latest draft template on NBA Draft is Pippen. The Mavericks fans are already celebrating, and they have already pried out the skin pictures of Thick Eyebrow + Irving + Flag. I also began to find a suitable combination name for this potential Big Three. In this way, the Mavericks are worth looking forward to in the new season.

Winner 2: Spurs. The record ranks eighth from the bottom in the league, with a probability of drawing the top four of the game being 26.3%, and they finally won the second place; in addition, their No. 14 draw comes from the Hawks. The team's new coach Mickey Johnson was drawn on behalf of the Spurs. The Spurs are currently rebuilding their results, and this second pick can also win a rookie (backfield player) who strengthens the team's current situation. Looking forward to their next choice. The second-hand hottest is Dylan Harper, the son of Bulls celebrity Ron Harper, and his latest draft templates on NBA Draft are Cunningham and Brunson.

Winner 3: 76 people. The 76ers' record last season was not ideal. There were many problems in the team due to injuries, and the team was eventually eliminated early. The draw also got a good result for them. After the 76ers won the Tanhua lottery, they saved their first round pick this year. In Horford's trade, the 76ers gave the Thunder a 2025 first round pick. This first round pick was protected by the top 6 picks, so the 76ers retained this draft pick. Of course, the operation of the team during the offseason has also attracted much attention.

There are some happy and some sad. The three teams above can be said to have become the big winners of the lottery, while the teams below are the losers of this lottery, namely the Jazz, Wizards and Pelicans. These teams can be said to be obviously suspected of playing badly this season, but in the end they did not get the draw they wanted. Judging from the results of this draw, it is not ruled out that the league is punishing these playing badly. The 2025 draft will be held on June 26 and 27 in two days at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. There is definitely no suspense to the candidate for the No. 1 pick. How will the teams in the future be chosen? The final draft situation will still be waiting for the draft to begin.
