Sure, there was 26 years between Duncan and Wemby…but in that time you were in the lottery like a handful of times and you happen to have won it twice out of the few times you have been in it and it happens to be when generational talent was available.
More than just a slice of luck.
Personally, I wasn’t crushed we didn’t get the #1 pick as with a 14% chance it’s silly to expect you would but was very disappointed to be the team that slid out. At least my bank account was happy with the lottery result.
