The tank officially ended Wednesday night. With the Toronto Raptors 30-point win over the Charlotte Hornets, the Brooklyn Nets will enter the May 12 draft lotter with the sixth best odds at securing Cooper Flagg (9.0%) and a top four pick (37.2%.) That’s it. End of story.
The Nets also are now set at No. 36 in the second round — the lottery has no effect on seconds. It’s based purely on record. That leaves the Milwaukee Bucks pick as really the only question left. Currently, it’s at No. 18. Mathematically, it could fall to No.
