Wins and lottery position: recent history, for perspective

[droopdog7]

The thing to really note is what kind of swings generation picks take after you win.   LeBron, Duncan and Bird all had huge turnarounds for their franchises.

Not related to the draft, but I'm pretty the 08 celts had the biggest turnaround.  And, I'm not convinced that lebron's cavs had that big of a turnaround.
