Some teams in the 2022 NBA Draft Lottery have never won the No. 1 pick in event history. Here’s a look at which ones, as well as their odds of winning it this year.
Meanwhile, the Pacers are also back in the lottery for a second straight year, but have much better odds this time around. Indiana had just a 1% chance at the top pick last year and wound up staying put in the No. 13 draft slot, where they picked Chris Duarte. Now, the Pacers are right behind the Thunder as the fifth and final team with at least a 10% chance at the No. 1 pick, sitting at 10.5%.
Like OKC, Indiana has never picked first overall in the franchise’s 46-year NBA history. The Pacers have drafted second overall three times, selecting Steve Stipanovich in 1983, Wayman Tisdale in 1985 and Rik Smits in 1988. The highest Indiana has picked since the lottery format was changed to a weighted system in 1990 was 10th, where they drafted Erick Dampier in 1996 and Paul George in 2010.
