In the NFL, if you finish last, you get the first pick. That allows you the opportunity to draft who you think is the best player.
You talked yesterday on OEP about the NFL being popular because if you’re the worst, you get to draft the best player. There’s a light for your team being really bad.
The MLB and NBA don’t act the same, and I think the criticism around the draft order is significantly greater than the accusations of tanking in the NFL. Wemby to the Spurs is a great example.
Would it improve the drafts in those two sports to drop the lottery?
