They should have a lottery for EACH of the top 5 picks, so even finishing last would only guarantee the 6th pick. Fixes the tanking problem but also guarantees that bad teams get high picks, which is the point

I love this theory, I've always hated that their is only one lotto.
last place has a 75% chance of 1st,
Assuming they win the first lottery. Every other team should go back in the draw and have a 4x better chance of getting 2nd, then they had at 1st.
If last place doesn't win the first lottery, they would then have about an 80% chance of getting second. If they lost again about an 85% chance of 3rd.......
