Looking at it, the Lakers are currently the 8th worst team in the league, BUT.. I highly doubt the Hornets and Clippers will stay this bad for long (even if they are mediocre, they will improve over time in the season).
Then, it's pretty much between LAL, ATL, PHO, SAC, CHI & DAL, and hoping LAL are even worse than a few of these teams.
Unfortunately, I just think DAL and CHI are destined to be absolutely horrid all season and will blatantly tank, so maybe a few of ATL/PHO/SAC overachieve a bit and help us out?
Either way it looks like if this pick conveys, it will be #4 or #5 at best, unless the ping pong balls bless us again.
