Wolves win coin flip E-mail
Written by SG

According to Chad Hartman and Doogie at KFAN, the Wolves won the tiebreaker with Memphis for the NBA draft lottery. 
 
 
The result will have no real bearing on the lottery proceedings on May 20 -- Minnesota and Memphis, for example, will split the balls available for the #3 and #4 teams. If it's an odd number, the coin flip winner will take the extra one. But the coin flip does have serious import with regards to draft order. A Minnesota coin flip win means Minnesota picks ahead of Memphis, unless Memphis vaults into the Top 3 by way of lottery win. It also means the lowest Minnesota could pick would be #6, while Memphis could fall as low as #7.
 
 
 
A franchise that has had none in the draft lottery won Friday’s blind draw with Memphis, which means the Wolves get slotted for the third overall pick in the June draft and the Grizzlies the fourth pick, provided the lottery goes according to the odds.
 
Also from Zgoda: 
By winning it, the Wolves also get a 13.8 percent chance at the No. 1 overall pick rather than a 13.7 percent chance.
