Draft Lottery 2015

BOSTON, MA -- Hello everyone.  I am writing to you from the Commissioners' Office where I have just completed the 2015 Draft Lottery. 

For the knowledge of our newcomer, and the short term memory enhancement of our cannabis users in the group here is how the lottery works.

• Playoff teams are slotted according to order of finish by winning percentage.
• #11 and #12 are slotted as division winners because they earned byes.
• The non-playoff teams have a chance at the first pick based with higher probability given to the teams with the lowest winning percentage.
• We pick in ascending order so that there is some suspense to the draft.  
• There are 21 chances in the lottery, with the lowest winning% getting 1 chance and next lowest getting 2 chances on up.
• Here are the percentages of winning the #1 pick in this years lottery:
• One Man Gang - 29%
• Goin Yard - 24%
• Fenway Flats - 19%
• Wild Card - 14%
• Pilgrims - 10%
• Yellow Stars - 5%

This year, I have decided to embrace technology with embarrassingly funny results as you will see below.  Since we had 2 false starts with Winter Meetings and it will probably snow on Draft Day this year, I decided to record myself doing the lottery at my desk.  Hilarity ensues.

Video is in three parts for reasons you will see below.  I considered editing the mistakes and splicing together.  I decided to show the raw footage at my own expense so that I would not have to listen to you deadbeats claim it was fixed.  I know that I won't be that lucky. 

So enjoy!...I have a new-found respect for Dawn Hayes.
