Send us a textThe WNBA's two-season approach to draft lottery odds offers a more equitable system than the NBA's single-season method. Teams with sustained struggles like the Wizards deserve better draft positions to genuinely rebuild rather than rewarding teams experiencing temporary setbacks or intentionally tanking.• NBA currently bases draft lottery odds on just the previous season's performance• WNBA uses the previous two seasons' records to determine lottery odds• Washington Wizards finished second-worst in consecutive seasons but only received the sixth pick• Two-season approach would make tanking much more difficult and less appealing• 76ers receiving the third pick despite having Joel Embiid raises questions about equitable distribution• Teams genuinely struggling for multiple years (Wizards, Hornets, Jazz) would benefit most from a two-season system• Analysis of how WNBA teams' draft positions would change under different systems• A longer evaluation period ensures help goes to teams that truly need itPlease like, subscribe, comment, and tell anyone who's anyone about the show.
