Adam Silver's message to teams tanking for Victor Wembanyama
Adam Silver wants teams to keep playing hard even if they tank for the draft lottery jackpot. The worst team has 14% chance to get the top pick instead of 25%. It's the fastest way for a team to make its way back to the bottom is to obtain a franchise-altering talent.
Adam Silver's statement about teams tanking for Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson is confusing. It's difficult to imagine non-contending teams stopping short of anything just to acquire the young talents. San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, and Utah Jazz are favourites to win the lottery at the end of the season.
