11.9% chance of winning.

I played it like 10 times - 5/10 has us at 3 picking Parker, 3/10 has us at 2 - picking Parker and 2/10 has us at 1 picking Parker...

You know what that means 

almost every time I ran it, the celtics were picking Exum at 5.

it was either parker or exum for me.

Im hoping for the second pick, assuming the Big Three all leave (Embiid, Wiggins, Parker). We would have an easier decision to make than the number 1.

looks like our odds are getting better and better.

[GreenEnvy]

Embiid
Wiggins
Parker
Exum
Randle

That's my preference.

[lightspeed5]

getting excited about the prospects with our chances increasing.

well Utah has passed us, we are only 1 win in front of Philly for the 3rd best odds , only 2 and a half in front of Orlando for 2nd best odds . I think Orlando will start winning more once Vucevic comes back .

Things are looking good for the C's!

Going to be very happy any which way we land one of Embiid/Parker/Wiggins or Exum. Think they're all going to be superstars, with Embiid potentially developing into a legitimate franchise changer.

It's going to be interesting to see how good Embiid becomes.  He is a very good athlete but the comparisons to Olajuwon could be a bit much.  I'd heard an announcer say a better comparison is Andrew Bynum pre injury.

Good tank game between the Lakers and Knicks today. Whoever wins is a win for the Celtics. (although I hope it's the Lakers who win)

[bleedGREENdon]

Wow I didn't know the 6ers have two first round picks this year. Next year the 6ers definitely can make the playoffs, and we'd have three 1sts. I hope next years draft is good as we'll !!!

[bleedGREENdon]

My spins has us taking Parker inside the top 3 every time and exum at 5 every time.

[chambers]

I'm getting the same as others. Exum at 5 and Jabari or Embiid in the top 3.

Does who we take in this mock lottery spin have any influence from Chad Ford?
ie: Does Ford use his 'insider information' or opinion on who Danny likes?

Or does it just take the BPA?

I think the more relevant number is what % chance do we have of landing a top 3 pick?  also, anything in the top 5 is probably a huge win for us this summer

Well if we finished 4th we'll roughly get slightly less than a 40% chance at a top 3 pick. 37% or 39% off the top of my head?

I think he projects a bit better than Bynum, myself. And he doesn't have that attitude stuck to him.
