<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Pat Williams was the Magic representative when we got both our No. 1 picks in previous Draft Lotterys. This year, he will represent us again as we have a 25% chance of getting that first pick again. He sat down with the media on the Friday before the Lottery to talk a little more about his experiences. On whether or not he is bringing a lucky charm or any kind: ?I?m convinced that given a choice of rabbit?s feet, four leaf clovers, or horseshoes, you are better off with a lot of ping-pong balls in the machine. Does that make sense? In other words, given a choice of 250 ping-pong balls and no rabbit?s feet, or 10 balls and eight rabbits feet, take the ping-pong balls. So I?m not bringing anything.? ?People have also talked about if I should wear the same clothes from the previous lottery winners. I could do that, because I have them. One on my hobbies is collecting old clothes, and wearing them, so I could do that. I?m still debating on what to wear, that is an issue. I?m not going to make that call until I pack.? On the impact a number one pick can have: ?All I know is the higher you pick the better your odds of getting a productive player. Worst case, we pick fifth, which is the highest we?ve picked in five years, they isn?t too bad. We?ll come out of it with a good player, and a win would mean a lot to us psychologically. Once we get through Wednesday night comes four weeks of interviewing, workouts, discussion.? </div> So the worst we could get is the 5th pick...but we have 25% chance of getting the #1 piack... I hope we get the #1 pick we deserve it lol , I think we will have some trades if we get the 5th pick...maybe if Hawks get 1st we trade Juwan and others for their pick or Juwan and fifth pick for their pick...

im suprised that with the kind of a season the magic had, they only have a 25% chance of getting #1. even if you gets get screwed and do get the #5th pick, its still a nice position to be in because there will be a good player available at the 5 pick to help the magic out next year. magic should get #1 pick, it would only be right. i thought 25% was kinda low, but i found a chart out and it does seem right. <u>Chances of winning</u> Orlando - 25% Chicago - 20% Washington - 15.7% LA Clippers - 10.5% Altanta - 10.4% Phoenix - 6.4% Toronto - 3.7% Philadelphia - 3.6% Cleveland - 1.8% Golden State - 0.9% Seattle - 0.9% Portland - 0.6% Utah - 0.5% NBA.com Draft Link
