One of the first tests for Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations Gersson Rosas will be — how lucky is he?
Rosas is set to represent the Wolves in Chicago at Tuesday’s draft lottery, the annual event in which the future of several franchises hinge on the fate of pingpong balls.
The good thing for the Wolves — who finished 36-46, the 10th-worst record in the league — is that this year the NBA has enacted changes it passed for the lottery in September 2017. It flattened the odds at the top so that the worst three teams each have a 14% chance of the top pick.
