Guys, just one question.
As of today, our picks are 21st and 23rd (via LAC).

MEM 40-25
LAC 40-26
ATL 39-26
BOS 38-27
DEN 37-28

Worst case scenario:
MEM lose, ATL lose, BOS win...our picks are 22nd and 24th
Best case scenario:
MEM win, ATL win, BOS lose, DEN win...
-ATL & LAC 40-26...what is tiebreaker?
-BOS & DEN 38-28...ditto?
Can we somehow end with 20th and 22nd pick?

In 2010 they used random drawing! I don't know if they still do this.

zdravo.

i have no idea as to the answer to your good question, but thanks for making this thread since i want to know as well. a shift from the 24th spot to the 20th spot is worth knowing about.

hvala.  :)

Very good point. I think we'll end up with #21 and #22/23.
But I have no idea what's the tiebraker between Atlanta and Memphis.

Someone?

Unless it got changed with no one knowing, it is still a random draw/coinflip.  So the Celtics original pick is #21, and Atlanta and the Clips pick are randomly drawn for #22/#23.  Unlike the NFL, playoff results do not affect draft order at all.  The draw normally happens shortly after the regular season is concluded, with relatively little fanfare.  It's possible we could get consecutive picks at #21/#22, otherwise #21/#23.  Consecutive picks would be nice, as there is a little added value of controlling a bloc.
