If you want to make sure you have the first 'human' pick, then just lose to the bots or fabricate a bad enough Point Differential that you will pick ahead of other teams with the same record. Losing to a bot is not easy, but if you play 3 players and miss GDP on purpose and play bad tactics (like R&G with 2 lucky fans at PG and SG) it should be enough.

Is 3 the number of players I must have on the court to not commit a walkover? What if one of them fouls out?

You only need to start the game with 3 players. If they foul out it doesn't matter.

To add to what @lemonshire said it's always good also to burn your enthousiasm before the game you plan to loose.

Good knowledge considering you're only 2 weeks in the game.

A less than 2 weeks old team with no trained players, no transfers and purposely trying to lose the game is a good example of how you can randomly lose to a bot. Gotcha.

I have already managed to lose to a bot by letting only 3 players to play, setting bigs to defend guards, run&gun tactics. Planning to do that again :D

something seems to be wrong with the game if the best strategy for a new team is to play with only three players and to do all they can to lose to bots...

The best strategy is probably to have 0 players for as long as you don't pay the floor, maybe save the star player and any good prospect, but I digress. Besides garbage organizations like the 76ers and garbage front office staff like Hinkie have done this is in the richest professional league on the planet, a league that actually also HANDS money to bad and smaller teams. Just imagine that in BB not only do you play to lose, but also the top teams in the league who pay salaries and try to win games also devolve some of their revenues to you. You could not make this stuff up, if you tried.
