Kidd: I thought we would be near the 11th pick and it was incredible to draw the No. 1 pick

May 19th In the recent "Dan Patrick Show", Mavericks coach Kidd talked about this year's draft.

Kidd admitted that he did not expect the team to draw the No. 1 pick in this year's lottery.

"I think we will be near the 11th pick. If we don't fall down, it's about our situation this year. But it's incredibly the No. 1 pick." Kidd said.

In this year's draw, the Mavericks ranked 11th in the probability of the No. 1 pick (1.8%). The one they are most likely to win is the 11th pick. As a result, they won the No. 1 pick, jumping 10 places from the expected pick! This is also the biggest jump in draft lottery history, tied with the Magic in 1993.
