The 13th pick in the 1999 Rookie Draft belongs to:  The Atlanta Hawks! (95.19% chance of landing in this spot) After picking in the top four the past two drafts, the Hawks finished with the best record among all teams to miss the playoffs and slot in right where they were expected to. |

The 12th pick in the 1999 Rookie Draft belongs to:  The Sacramento Kings, by way of the Toronto Raptors! (88.26% chance of landing in this spot) The Kings acquired this pick from the Timberwolves in a deal that headlined Rasheed Wallace. Originally, the Raptors dealt it unprotected for backup Roy Rogers. This is why you protect your picks, kids. |

We had zero picks in our GGHL league this past season and just one the season before
We have one 7th round pick in our FCH draft this season (in a really good draft sadly)
We traded all our premium picks in FCM this draft and the draft prior
We won’t pick here after 2000 for quite some time.
Fuck them picks!!

The 11th pick in the 1999 Rookie Draft belongs to: The Sacramento Kings! (75.03% chance of landing in this spot) The Kings slot in with back-to-back picks at #11 and #12 after failing to jump from either spot. |

The 10th pick in the 1999 Rookie Draft belongs to:  The Golden State Warriors! (62.84% chance of landing in this spot) After a disjointed season, the Warriors will have a chance to add a key piece to their young core. |

The 9th pick in the 1999 Rookie Draft belongs to:  The Denver Nuggets! (52.03% chance of landing in this spot) Despite having the best defense in TSFBL, the Nuggets once again find themselves in the lottery. With another year of bad luck, all picks are true to form through the first five unveilings. |

The 8th pick in the 1999 Rookie Draft belongs to:  The Los Angeles Lakers! (33.78% chance of landing in this spot) We're now past the point where we would've expected at least one jump with the new lottery system. The Lakers hold at #8, and we're now in the zone where anything can happen. |

The 7th pick in the 1999 Rookie Draft belongs to:  The Philadelphia 76ers! (20.26% chance of landing in this spot) Did I forget to turn on the randomizer? We're still true to form through the first 7 picks unveiled. The 76ers will have a chance to add a bright young player to pair with Glenn Robinson. |

The 6th pick in the 1999 Rookie Draft belongs to:  The Houston Rockets! (8.87% chance of landing in this spot) The run of expected picks keeps going, against the odds. The Rockets have one of the best wings in the league in Michael Finley, and have a great chance with this pick to get him some help. |

The 5th pick in the 1999 Rookie Draft belongs to:  The San Antonio Spurs! (47.64% chance of landing in this spot) Wow! After eight straight teams fell in order, the team with the worst record in the league falls all the way down to #5 overall! Still, the Spurs will have a great chance to get another cornerstone to add to Jermaine O'Neal and Al Harrington. This means the Nets, Celtics, Pacers, and Heat are our four teams in the top four. Remember, if the Heat pick lands at #4, it will go to the Nets. What drama, stay tuned! |

The 4th pick in the 1999 Rookie Draft belongs to:  The New Jersey Nets, by way of the Miami Heat! (11.08% chance of landing in this spot) The Heat pick lands at #4, which means the Nets will take it from here. The Heat pay the price for gambling in acquiring Larry Hughes from the Nets mid-season. A tough lesson for a new GM to learn, but hopefully it will help guide future decisions. |

The 3rd pick in the 1999 Rookie Draft belongs to: The New Jersey Nets! (12.8% chance of landing in this spot) The Nets will pick back-to-back at #3 and #4 after a season in which they completely blew up the infrastructure of the team. This leaves the Pacers and Celtics in the top two, stay tuned to find out who will grab #1! |

The 2nd pick in the 1999 Rookie Draft belongs to:  The Indiana Pacers! (11.45% chance of landing in this spot) The Pacers added a promising rookie in last year's draft in Antawn Jamison, and will look to give him a running mate at #2 in this year's draft. This means... The 1st pick in the 1999 Rookie Draft belongs to:  The Boston Celtics! (14.07% chance of landing in this spot) The Celtics have won the lottery! After being the biggest sellers of this year's deadline, the Celtics' pivot into a full tank was as successful as one could possibly hope for. They'll have their pick of the litter in a strong rook6ie class. Congratulations! |
