Also I love how the new lottery system for the draft. I have it where the top 10 picks are considered for lottery choices the all the non-playoff teams (34) are considered lottery teams.

My questions is this. What percentage should I put on these 34 teams?
32% making the playoffs is perfect IMO.

As for your lottery odds, I do one of two things, completely even or weighted so better teams have betters odds. I personally despise tank culture. Team one (worst team) gets one ball. Team 2 (second worse) gets 2 balls. Team 3 gets 3 balls and so on...
