The top three lottery draws are upset! The Mavericks set two major records, and the top three will be born

On May 13, the NBA playoffs were in full swing. Earlier, the lottery draw was also a big upset. The key is not an upset, and the top three picks were all unexpected. In this draw, the Mavericks drew the No. 1 pick with a 1.8% chance, followed by the Spurs and the 76ers. The Jazz, Wizards and Hornets, the third-last record this season, failed to do so.

Before this draw, the Jazz, Wizards and Hornets had the highest probability of winning the No. 1 pick. Unexpectedly, they all fell out of the top three in the end. The Hornets won the best fourth pick, the Jazz's fifth pick, and the Wizards were the sixth pick. In the past three years, the teams with the worst record have not won the No. 1 pick. Obviously, the league does not want to see the situation of deliberately playing badly to get the No. 1 pick. I believe that some teams may not deliberately play badly.

The Mavericks won the No. 1 pick with a 1.8% chance, but this is not the lowest probability in history. It is only ranked fourth in history. The lowest probability is that the Magic won the No. 1 pick with a 1.52% chance in 1993. The probability of all the top three being upset is even more dismal. According to calculations, the probability of the Mavericks, Spurs and the 76ers becoming the top three is only 0.0114%, which is somewhat of a secret operation. The Mavericks have also completed a counterattack, which is equivalent to using Doncic to exchange Anthony Davis + Christie + No. 1 pick. In addition to completing the counterattack, the Mavericks also set two major records, which is the first time they have won the No. 1 pick in their team history. In addition, it is also the first time in history that both the No. 1 picks and the WNBA picks were in the same score. Dallas Flying Wings selected Page with the No. 1 pick, and the Mavericks have also won the No. 1 pick, basically choosing Flag. What's more interesting is that after sending the star to Los Angeles in NBA history, he has won the No. 1 pick three times. In 2011, the Hornets sent Paul to the Clippers, and then drew the No. 1 pick to choose Davis; then in 2019, the Pelicans (the predecessor of the Hornets) sent Davis to the Lakers, and then drew the No. 1 pick to choose Zion; then Doncic traded to the Lakers, and the Mavericks drew the No. 1 pick.

As the Mavericks draw the No. 1 pick, this means that the team's lineup will become more luxurious. After all, the reason why they failed to make the playoffs this season is mainly because they encountered injuries, and the lineup is still very good. Next season, the top three players will be formed. Davis and Irving in the team are both top three players. In addition, Flag, who is the top two players, will have a high probability of being the top two players. The strength of this team will be further improved. Once it remains healthy, it will still be very competitive.
