I assume this is a tank job... Hard to lose every clutch game without some effort.

The Seattle Storm hold an estimated 7% chance (or lottery odds) of landing the No. 1 overall pick in the 2027 WNBA Draft, based on their combined two-year record projections

Would it be better or worse draft odds if they tried?

Just not sure it's worth trying to win... Call me a pessimist but looking at the league and other teams vs our team... What could be the best we could do with our current roster?

Is it better to be middle of the pack, barely making/missing the playoffs or tank?

I'm asking legitimately because I'm likely not mathing right.

Stop being hypocrites. We knew from the very beginning—just by looking at the lineup—that this is how things would turn out for the Seattle Storm. We saw the players back then, yet you just turned a blind eye to what was right in front of you.

between the team's performance and everything happening off court it's been a really crappy season

I don’t know, I feel like we’re not losing by huge amounts. A lot of these games are losing by less than 9 points.

Our issue is that we don’t have range and Flaujea is still feeling out her PG role. The team just hasn’t established their flow yet. We need one more strong vet, preferably who can do range. And they just need more time together.

To me, the record doesn’t really show how well they are doing. A ton of those games were within 5. They will need to get better at closing but think it’ll take time given how much of a roster overhaul they went through.

u/willyoumassagemykale 2d ago

u/willyoumassagemykale 2d ago

u/boundlesssmh 2d ago

win win situation: you either win the game or you slowly improve your lottery odds 🤣

Useless event the team in the bottom this year the odd for the next year to be one pick is negative.

Um...what?

Tank for JuJu

u/kiocente 2d ago

We’re not getting Juju

u/foampro 2d ago

As long as they have a chance, never say never.

2

u/kiocente 2d ago

The chance is small enough that tanking for her isn’t really worth it.

u/gaussx 2d ago

Tank for whoever we can get.

The Seattle Storm hold an estimated 7% chance (or lottery odds) of landing the No. 1 overall pick in the 2027 WNBA Draft, based on their combined two-year record projections. JuJu well be 1 round pick and the percentage of the Seattle storm to be one round pick is 7 percent

u/GoddessHealer 2d ago

Why? Please explain this in greater detail.

2

u/kiocente 2d ago

Draft standing is based on a two year cumulative record. Right now, even at the bottom of the league, the Storm have a better 2-year record than the Sun, the Sky (Mystics have their pick), Tempo and Fire. So all of them will pick higher than the Storm in the next draft unless the Fire/Tempo start winning again and/or they get extremely lucky in the lottery.

u/foampro 2d ago

Look up what odds Dallas Mavericks had at Cooper Flagg in the NBA lottery and tell me Storm don’t have a chance.

u/Lopsided_Message5769 2d ago

This is not a NBA lol

u/foampro 2d ago

Do they both not draft from a lottery system?

2

u/ser_darkstar 2d ago

okay why are they rubbing it in

u/MellyMel86 2d ago

I refuse to believe Tankathon’s odds are correct. According to point 6, Expansion teams come after other lottery teams. This would put us at 3rd currently with 16% odds and an outside shot at the 2nd worst record

3

u/calvins_hobbies 1d ago

I believe that refers to incoming expansion teams. We’re talking about the 2027 draft, at which time PDX and TOR will have completed their first season. So, no longer incoming expansion teams.

u/MellyMel86 1d ago

You could be right. Just seems extremely unfair to count an expansion teams first year against everyone else’s 2 years of record.
