Following wins by the Celtics and Lakers last night, there is a bit of separation between the three worst teams (Milwaukee, Philly and Orlando) and the next four teams (Boston, Utah, Sacramento, LAL) who are all within one loss of each other.

It is worth noting that in 83% of all possible scenarios the 4th seed will get a pick in the top 5. Meanwhile 82% of the time the 7th seed will pick 7th or 8th.
Looking at this year's draft, that looks like a serious drop off in talent.
