I wouldn't go that far... you still want to promote parity so I would still give the worst teams the lotto odds advantage but they would lose draft range certainty... the bottom team would no longer be assured of picking 2nd at worst. Flat odds isn't ideal either... I could see flatter odds (where the Bottom 5 have equal odds, then the next group of 5 have smaller equal odds then the first group, and the remaining group (bubble teams) all have the same yet smaller odds. That way you still promote parity but make incremental differences less important.
