Lotto Numbers:
*Empty boxes = 0%
Interesting lotto stats:
1. The 5th pick landed top 3 for the first 7 seasons (1st one time, 2nd twice and 3rd 4 times). Hasn't landed top 3 the last 4 seasons.
2. The lowest projected top 3 pick came last season when the Rockets climbed from 8 and landed the 3rd pick.
3. Toronto is the only team to land 2 1st overall picks (Tim Duncan and Brandon Roy).
4. CHA has landed in the top 3 the most so far (4 times).
5. DET was the team that went lotto the most without landing a top 3 pick (6 times, 5 from 1998 - 2002).
6. Indiana landed back-to-back #2 picks in 2002 and 2003. Minny landed back-to-back #3 picks in 1998 and 1999. Speaking of back-to-back, Philly landed back-to-back top 3 picks in 1997 (2nd) and 1998 (1st). Houston did it in 2000 (1st) and 2001 (2nd). Clippers did it in 2001 (1st) and 2002 (3rd). Charlotte did it in 2004 (3rd) and 2005 (1st) and Toronto did it in 2005 (3rd) and 2006 (1st).
7. Chris Paul (2005) and Brandon Roy (2006) are the only guards (one SG and one PG) to go 1st overall. The remaining positions each have 3 players drafted 1st overall: SF (Durant, Bron, AK) Center (Dwight, Ming, Duncan), and PF's (Dirk, KMart, and Gasol).
8. The East has landed the last 4 1st overall picks and 8 out of the 11 so far.
9. Including transactions and the creation draft, the Magic drafted 3 out of the top 4 1st overall picks (Kobe, Dirk, AK) at the beginning of the league).
10. Not including the creation draft, 1998 is the only season where the top pick was moved during the lotto/draft. Trade.
