Not sure where you get that impression from. I think most of us are aware of the new lottery rules. The worst team in the league still has a 100% chance to draft in the bottom 2.

The majority of draft lotteries have been won by teams in the bottom 5 because those teams have the greatest chance of winning it. So unless a team outside the bottom 5 wins it, the result won't be any different than under the previous rules.

Not sure a team lower than 8th has ever won it, have they?
