What Clippers-Kings means for the Pistons’ draft
By Dan Feldman
The Clippers-Kings game currently underway is the season’s final game that will affect the Pistons’ draft positioning. Here’s what each outcome would mean for Detroit:
If Clippers beat Kings
- No. 1 pick: 3.55 percent
- No. 2 pick: 4.1 percent
- No. 3 pick: 4.85 percent
- No. 6 pick: 0 percent
- No. 7 pick: 29.95 percent
- No. 8 pick: 47.8 percent
- No. 9 pick: 9.3 percent
- No. 10 pick: 0.4 percent
- No. 11 pick: less than 0.1 percent
- No. 55 pick: 50 percent
If Kings beat Clippers
- No. 1 pick: 4.46666 percent
- No. 2 pick: 5.1 percent
- No. 3 pick: 5.93333 percent
- No. 6 pick: 14.63333
- No. 7 pick: 30.13333
- No. 8 pick: 33.2 percent
- No. 9 pick: 6.23333 percent
- No. 10 pick: 0.26666 percent
- No. 11 pick: less than 0.1 percent
- No. 55 pick: 0 percent
Who cares about the No. 55 pick? I’m rooting for the Kings and better odds at the top of the draft.
