I like it.
Yeah if you look at the 4 bubble teams (11th through 14th), the chances that (any) one of them getting one of the top 3 picks would be approximately 25%, so one year in 4 on average.

Of course it might not happen for 15 years or it might happen 3 of the first 4 years, but on average it should be one year in 4.

That certainly adds an element of excitement and drama to the draft lottery.
