1.8% won the No. 1 pick and only ranked fourth! A list of the 10 No. 1 picks with the lowest probability in history: Magic once 1.5%
On May 14, after the Mavericks won Flag with a 1.8% probability, conspiracy theories emerged from the outside world, but to be honest, I think this statement doesn't seem to be credible. Irving was not injured when trading Doncic. If Irving was not injured at the beginning, it would be a big problem for the combination of Irving and Thick Eyebrow to enter the playoffs, so in this case they would not have the chance to win the No. 1 pick. I think this would be a coincidence, of course everyone has their own opinions. In fact, there are many people who have a low probability of winning the No. 1 pick in history. Let’s take a look.
Bucks selected Bogut
and won the No. 1 pick in 2005 with a 6.3% chance. In the 2004-05 season, their record was sixth from the bottom in the league. Although it seemed to be very low, there are still many teams with bad performances with higher probability of winning the No. 1 pick than them. But because it was the New Year of the draft, and the team liked to choose centers when they rebuild, the Bucks chose Bogut, a brainless person. There were two point guards in this draft, Deron Williams and Chris Paul.
Pelicans selected Zion
This is also part of recent conspiracy theories. The Pelicans traded Thick Brows, so they won the No. 1 pick for 2019. The probability of the Pelicans getting the No. 1 pick this year is 6%. It seems that this probability is much greater than that of the Mavericks. Zion determined the No. 1 pick before entering the league. He is said to be a talent comparable to Jordan and James, but in the end it failed to meet everyone's expectations. Although it is not a parallel product, the attendance rate is too low.
The Trail Blazers selected Oden
The Trail Blazers ranked eighth from the bottom in the league in 2007 and ranked 11th in the West. It is logical that it is difficult to win the No. 1 pick in such a ranking. As a result, they were lucky to get the No. 1 pick with a 5.3% chance. There was no suspense about the No. 1 pick this year since the draft began. The Trail Blazers won Oden, but due to the influence of the Trail Blazers veterinary, Oden was unable to realize his talent in the end. He was in the same draft with Durant and Horford, and Ali.
Nets selected Martin
Nets achieved the seventh-last record in the league in 2000, which also gave them the opportunity to win the No. 1 pick. In the end, the team won the No. 1 pick with a 4.4% probability, which can be said to be very lucky. In the 2000s, it was also a famous draft New Year. The Nets finally chose to win the inside player Kenyon Martin. After joining the Nets, Martin made Kidd feel more powerful. They reached the finals in two games, but met the Peak Sharks and Duncan, and finally failed.
Hawks chose Rissache
Rather than asking for the Mavericks, the league is deliberately suppressing and deliberately playing badly. The Hawks had a chance to get the No. 1 pick that year, but they won the French forward Rissache. Everyone knows that it is a famous draft New Year. This year, there is no decent talent. In desperation, the Hawks chose a forward line that looks like they have the chance to become 3D. Rissache performed quite well after joining the Hawks, and met expectations.
Cavaliers won Irving
Cavaliers won Irving with a 2.8% probability in 2011. Some media said this is also a conspiracy theory. In the first season of James' departure, the team won the No. 1 pick. After joining the Cavaliers, everyone probably knows that he helped the Cavaliers win the championship with his outstanding performance. He is now one of the most popular players in the league. Irving actually has some koi physique, and his team seems to be easy to win the championship.
Bulls won Ross
In 2008, 8 teams behind the Bulls had a record worse than them. Logically speaking, the probability of their winning the No. 1 pick was slim. As a result, the team won the No. 1 pick with a 1.7% chance. This year was the year of the draft. There were templates for Kobe's OJ Mayo, templates for Durant's Beasley, and Westbrook and Love. In the end, the Bulls chose to win Ross, and Ross also proved himself in the Bulls, the youngest MVP in history, but it did not reach the expected height due to injury, which is a pity.
Cavaliers won Wiggins
In 2014, the Cavaliers won the No. 1 pick with a 1.7% chance, the same as the Bulls' chance of getting Rose, and it is even lower than the Mavericks' chance of winning Flag. Perhaps the charm of competitive sports is not only on the court, but also in their draft. The quality of the draft this year was extremely high. In the end, the Cavaliers traded the No. 1 pick to the Timberwolves for Love, and chose to use him to win the best talented player of this class, Andrew Wiggins.
Magic won Weber
In 1992, the Magic won O'Neal. Under the leadership of the Sharks, they achieved a record of 41 wins and 41 losses in the 92-93 season, and ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference. It seems that they have no hope of winning the No. 1 pick. In the end, the team got the No. 1 pick with a 1.5% chance. They chose Weber, but the team did not use it, but then reached a deal with the Warriors to get Tanhua Anfini Hardaway. The two led the Magic to the finals in 1995, but they lost to the peak Olajuwon.
Speaking of this, what do you want to say about the number one pick in these few low probability of winning the No. 1 pick? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
