Sacramento has NEVER jumped up in the lottery under the current lottery system. They have dropped at least two spots in each of the past three years. Adrienne Maloof will be representing the Kings NBCUniversal and Bravo.

During the public announcing of the draft lottery results, the NBA Deputy Commissioner, Adam Silver, will begin announcing the lottery order from last to first. If any team currently slated before the Kings is not announced, that means they have jumped up. Each team that jumps the Kings vastly reduces the chance the Kings have jumped and greatly increases the chance the Kings have dropped. For reference, the order you want to hear leading up to the Kings slot is: Houston, Phoenix, Milwaukee, Portland, New Orleans, Detroit, Toronto, Golden State, and Portland. If that order remains the same, and the next team announced is NOT the Kings, that means we have jumped.

After the jump is an easy to read table courtesy of Wikipedia of each team's chances of getting each pick. Feel free to make your prediction of the Lottery order in the comments below. Anyone who correctly guesses the exact order of the lottery will be burned at the stake in accordance with StR's strict anti-witchcraft policy.
