by factoring in the season winning percentage, it gives consideration to the really bad teams; comparing that to their 20 game winning percentage gives the team motivation to win at the end rather than tank

It's not a terrible idea, far from it. But there's still going to be discrepancies, maybe not huge, but a couple teams will play maybe 13 road games stuff like that. And even if you're a terrible team and want to win, you still wont. So a team that really does need the first overall will stay around the exact same percentage they have all year and pick in the middle say 7th overall. In the end, it discourages tanking but doesn't help bad teams - the real reason for the draft order.
