Also, by the Mavs winning the lottery with one of the lowest odds ever is sending a clear message to Utah, Washington, and Charlotte that it's not a good idea to tank. Atlanta won the first pick last year, with similarly low odds.
The three teams that worked hardest for draft position, were "punished" badly. There must be complete doom and gloom in Washington and Utah. Charlotte at least has LaMelo and Miller from two years ago.
On the other hand, lottery gods really, really, really like San Antonio. They got Wemby and jumped to #2 (from 8) in a what is considered a 2 guy draft.
