A while ago I was killing time looking at the careers of NBA draft picks outside the top 15. The odds of hitting on something productive at that point are minuscule. Every year there's so much discussion of the potential of late draft picks and even un-drafted guys on summer league rosters and the G-League. But they truly are long-shot lottery tickets. Of course, the Knicks are in the top 15 most of the time.
