Draft lottery is Saturday the 28th during the San Jose/Vegas game. They will announce the order for all but the top three picks before the game and then announce the top three during the second intermission, for .... reasons. Suspense I guess. Torture also comes to mind.

Carolina has a 3.something percent shot at each of the top three picks and a nearly 70 percent chance to stand pat at 11.
