It's an eye of the beholder draft beyond 5. Lottery odds really level off as well. The difference between having the 6th worst record and the 9th is only 4.5%.
My strong opinion is just play the games and let the chips fall where they may. It's a lottery.

That's why I'm not too worried about exactly where we end up 6-9 in the tanking standings. We're going to need big time luck either way in the lottery. Or be good at drafting. I remember when we were arguing DSJ vs Frank Nitilikina and Donovan Mitchell went later than both of them.
Also why I don't understand why everyone was so worked up about Indiana trading their pick top 4 protected.
