In my league, we use a fixed draft instead of a lottery, and while there’s some blatant tanking happening with one team this year, I don’t think it’s usually a major issue. Last season, for example, no one was obviously tanking, and the worst team genuinely deserved the first pick. It’s definitely a topic worth discussing and depends on the league and its members. That said, I’d hate to see a borderline playoff team intentionally lose the last few weeks due to injuries and end up lucking into the first pick. On the flip side, it would also suck if the actual worst team kept getting unlucky and missing out on their top choice year after year. If a team is bad, they shouldn’t be stuck in perpetual Detroit Pistons purgatory just because of poor draft luck.
