if we implement this, we are giving another reason ( if we have few ones) for being fifth instead being upper
now its better being 5 than 3 or 4, with this, and giving chances to 5 to take number 1 draft pick, it will be better being 5 than 2 of conference
It will motivate those who are tanking for not doing so, as they can get the requested player even when not tanking.
The NBA added this rule, to narrow the cases where teams just started to tank and the game become boring.
It will also affect other teams who had played agianst that team before it began to tank.
Comparting the 5th place to the 4th is getting better under this lottery, (in case implied on all teams, and not only to those who did not succeed getting into the PO), as the 4th place now will have chance to get an higher pick from that 5th place.
