No matter what you say, I remain skeptical about the Detroit Pistons chances to advance in the lottery to grab the first overall selection. In 35 previous seasons since the lottery began, Motown participated 13 times and has never moved up. The no. 2 pick in 2003 NBA Draft indeed moved up from the sixth odds, but it was a pick owned to Detroit by Memphis Grizzlies due to Otis Thorpe trade and it was blown on Darko Miliu010diu0107.
The numbers, after all, are the numbers. Here’s what mathematical premises underpin this historically grounded conviction.
