We’re less than 24 hours away from the most important draft lottery in Utah Jazz history. That’s not hyperbolic; the Jazz have never tanked like they have this season, the lack of talent on the roster has never been more glaring. With that said, there’s only a 14% chance of getting Cooper Flagg; it’s much more likely we’ll be picking someone else. So, who is that person? I simulated the draft lottery on Tankathon 5 times and made 5 different picks.

I just audibly gasped when I saw Utah in the 1st pick position after sim #1.
