On top of that, there are more teams that have drafted top 3 that haven't made even the conference finals than teams that haven't drafted top 3 and made them.
Tanking is something fools cheer for. It is hopes and prayers. You don't cut the legs out under a team that is doing well to hope for a top 3 pick. It's just terrible odds.
You're statistically more likely to make the finals without drafting there, and even some of the cup winners over the last 15 years that drafted top 3 won the cup without that pick playing for them, or more than 10 years after they made it.
It's foolish stuff. I'm not cheering for a tank so that we can hope for success in a decade when we have something worth cheering for now. What a waste.
