Draft lottery



The Celtics won the tiebreaker with Dallas and will have the seventh
position in the lottery with 37 lottery chances out of 1000. I ran 
a simulation and came up with the following (approximate) probabilities,
based on one million trials:
  1st	3.7%
  2nd   4.3%
  3rd   5.0%
In total, a 13.0% chance of snaring a top 3 pick.
