It's been 8 years since the worst team got the first pick... I understand not rewarding a team that tanks, but what about teams that are just BAD, like the Bobcats? They suck every year, but they never get any better through the draft because they never get a top pick - there's definitely a downside to the lottery system that ASSUMES that all the worst teams are tanking.
EDIT: I should make it clear that I don't think the draft was rigged, I just think it's an unjust system in its current form (nor do I have any ideas on how to fix it).
