Just a few weeks ago, we tried to see if Microsoft's Copilot could predict the NFL Draft and it went off the rails almost immediately. After correctly assuming Cam Ward would go No. 1 overall to the Tennessee Titans, it got off track with Adbul Carter at No. 2 and Shedeur Sanders to the New York Giants at No. 3. Safe to say that did not happen.

Well, the NBA Draft Lottery gods have a sense of humor. So much for the idea of Cooper Flagg going to a 20-win team. Instead, a statistically improbable Dallas Mavericks-San Antonio Spurs-Philadelphia 76ers-Charlotte Hornets top four upended all our previous assumptions about what might happen in the lead-up to the NBA Draft.
