I wish all sports just used a non-weighted lottery for draft pick order. High draft picks are so valuable in the NBA and NFL, it's just so backwards that the way to get that important prize is to be terrible at the sport. Logically, if winning a championship is the primarily goal, every team who doesn't have a realistic chance at a championship a particular year should intentionally lose 100% of their games. I don't know why it's so important for leagues to make sure that the teams that play the worst get the highest pick. It'd be more exciting if an occasional young team on the rise that played their hearts out to get to 7-9 or 40 wins in the NBA hit the jackpot and get a high pick.
