You can't stop what's coming
After 10 years of lovely Bobcats lottery luck, the Hornets actually got a lucky bounce last year. Fingers crossed that good luck sticks around.

This is probably a dumb question but I'll ask it anyway. How are the odds calculated, what are they based on, and do the odds determine how many number combinations the team gets?

A set formula based on team record, and yes.

Sorry, I am hella dumb and still don't really understand how the odds work. Why can the thunder be either 1-3 or most likely 14th and nothing in between?

Every team in the lottery has a chance of jumping into the top three, and as the last team in the lottery OKC can't slip any lower.

So you can only move up into the top 3, stay in the same place, or move down if someone behind you moves into the top three?

Yep.

This made me look it up, but man, there were a lot of bad #1 picks in the 60s:
Bill McGill
Art Heyman
Jim Barnes
Fred Hetzel

Seriously, who the hell are those guys?

Complicated a bit by teams having territorial rights on the best players
