1/3 Games
OK, but in common English, 10 out of 14 lottery picks are not actually lottery picks.

Okay, thanks. I'm not much of an NBA fan. I just always thought it was the top 3 or so. My reading of the Google result made me think top 4.
If #14 gets to pick number one and every team moves down a notch, all pick placements will be due to the lottery.
I'm not here to argue the semantics, just want to let people know what it means when they read it in an NBA context.

This is the Internet. We're all here to argue semantics.
There was a time when there were only two teams. In 1979 the Bulls lost the lottery and ended up with David Greenwood. If we had won, we never would have gotten Michael Jordan.
Bulls lost a coin flip and missed out on Magic in 79. That wouldn't have been the worst thing.
By the way, the Bears lost a coin flip in 1970 and missed out on Terry Bradshaw.
