ESPN Season Projections

So ESPN put together their Summer Forecasts for the East and West. Combining them, we get an idea of the projected lottery order:

T1) Brooklyn Nets (Boston) (20-62)

T1) Philadelphia 76ers (20-62)

3) Los Angeles Lakers (25-57)

4) Phoenix Suns (26-56)

5) Sacramento Kings (30-52)

6) Denver Nuggets (34-48)

T7) New Orleans Pelicans (35-47)

T7) Orlando Magic (35-47)

9) Miami Heat (36-46)

T10) Minnesota Timberwolves (39-43)

T10) Milwaukee Bucks (39-43)

T12) Dallas Mavericks (40-42)

T12) Chicago Bulls (40-42)

T12) New York Knicks (40-42)

In this scenario, the Sixers would have a 31.25% chance at the #1 pick (splitting the odds 22.45% a piece with Brooklyn/Boston at #1 and taking 8.8% from Sacramento). In addition, we have a 53% chance of ending up with the Lakers pick, including a 49% chance of getting it at #4 or #5, meaning the Sixers have a good shot at two top 5 picks next year if these results hold steady. What pick combination do you think we'll get?
