Portland is on the wrong end of 2 tie-breakers for draft pick order by the NBA



Both our pick (8th) to Charlotte who will pick 7th and the Warriors pick (14th) to Sacramento who will pick 13th. It doesn’t say what the criteria were for the tiebreaker 🧐

    CHA is 3rd best odds, Portland is 4th best. It’s less than a 1% differential between the odds for top4

    The GS pick I’m not too concerned picking a slot later because this draft is such a crapshoot of where anyone could go

    It’s not the end of the world others make it out to be haha the perception of this draft isn’t high. I’m sure (playing chair GM here) if we really loved a guy, we could either stay and pick or trade up. We’ll be okay.

    It’s NEXT years draft we need to be more intentional/concerned about

    I’m actually pretty happy the GSW pick fell to 14th. Our odds of getting that pick this year just doubled. And I think there no / negligible talent difference between picks 12-14 in this draft.

    I’m not sure if Sacramento being ahead of us at the back of the lottery matters too much as they’ll probably be looking for more immediate help while we can take more of a swing on a high ceiling, low floor type of player. Or this thinking could go out the window if Sacramento trades the pick.

    Not even as big of a deal as some are making it to be, that’s just fact.

    iirc the criteria for the tie break is a coin flip
