Adam Silver talked about NBA Draft and Tanking with ESPN’s NBA Today<\/a>: \u00abYou’re dealing with a 14% chance of getting the first pick. I recognize at the end of the day analytics are what they are and it’s not about superstition. A 14% chance is better than a 1% chance or a no percent chance.
