Draft Luck
Teams like Philadelphia, Oklahoma City, Charlotte, L.A. Lakers, and Cleveland have had far better luck than the rest of the league in the draft. Philadelphia has moved up 19 spots collectively in 20 draft appearances. They have moved up more spots collectively than any other franchise.
Then on the other end we have teams like Minnesota, Dallas, New York Knicks, Denver Nuggets, and Miami Heat who have terrible luck. They have been moving down. Minnesota has moved down 16 spots collectively.
Is it time for the NBA to recognize this and come up with a fix? I think there should be an adjustment to how many balls each team gets based off their draft history. It just doesn't make any sense for Dallas to have such bad luck every year. They're doing something that doesn't make sense.
I can see there being plenty of opposers for this, but I don't trust the current system.
