The balls are out of the hopper, the four digit numbers are assigned. Winners and losers have been determined. MN and PHX beat the odds, Charlotte and SASS did not. DC matched expectations.

(To borrow from baseball a bit) Let the hot stove league begin in earnest! The biggest draft related question may not be who the Lynx will select with the number 1 pick. It's not even who will Charlotte select with their first pick this year. The biggest question is who will be making Charlotte's selection?

I think it's pretty clear from today's lottery that the fates were punishing Charlotte for their previous treatment of draft picks.

Here were the odds:

Charlotte	6-28	420
San Antonio	7-27	261
Minnesota	14-20	167
Phoenix	16-18	76
Washington	16-18	76
