Golden State finished with the best record among the 14 teams who fell short of the playoffs, which means there are five possible outcomes:

- No. 2 overall pick: 0.56 percent chance
- No. 3 overall pick: 0.63 percent chance
- No. 4 overall pick: 0.72 percent chance
- No. 14 overall pick: 97.59 percent chance

Needless to say, June 22 is a very important date for the franchise.
