“Hey Amir,
I couldn't figure out how to write into buckets specifically so here I am. I don't know anything about basketball, and have never written to you before, but I love J&A and I guess the endless string of seemingly random basketball names in my ear at work soothes me.
Anyway Amir, I know you wanted to know the answer to to your statistics problem from the draft episode of buckets, so here is an explanation in terms you might understand.....
Imagine there are 100 acorns. Each one a percentage point in earning the number 1 draft pick. 2 of the acorns are blue to represent the Lakers 2% chance at number 1 pick. Lets say the grizzlies have a 3% chance at first pick, the pelicans 4% chance, and the Nicks 5% chance. That means, after all other teams have been called out, and only the top 4 teams are left, all other acorns for the NUMBER 1 pick have been wiped out of the pile. Now there are only 14 acorns left. 2 for lakers, 3 for grizzlies, 4 for pelicans, and 5 for nicks. Now, at this point, the Lakers have a 2/14 chance at the number 1 pick. Or a 14.3% chance.
This process can be repeated for each team, and each pick number, to find what their chances at each pick position would be after they cut down to top 4 teams.
Hope this Helps! If you use this, could you just shout out my gf Olivia, she loves your ardvark rap. Thanks.”Read full review »
