     Last night was the annual NBA draft lottery. Cleveland won the lottery for the 2nd time in 3 years. They are now the team who won the most #1 picks since the lotto started (4). The Charlotte Bobcats also announced that before the 2014-2015 season they are changing their name back to original name. The Charlotte Hornets. They can do this because the New Orleans Hornets are now the Pelicans.
Projected order:

  1. Orlando Magic 25 % chance for #1 pick
  2. Charlotte Bobcats 19.9 % chance for #1 pick
  3. Cleveland Cavaliers 15.6 % chance for #1 pick
  4. Phoenix Suns 11.9 % chance for #1 pick
  5. New Orleans Pelicans 8.8 % chance for #1 pick
  6. Sacramento Kings 6.3 % chance for #1 pick
  7. Detroit Pistons 3.6 % chance for #1 pick
  8. Washington Wizards 3.5 % chance for #1 pick
  9. Minnesota Timber-wolves 1.7 % chance for #1 pick

  12. Toronto Raptors 0.7 % chance for #1 pick
