Detroit Free Press writer Perry A. Farrell writes: "Pat Williams is the lottery king and Joe Dumars could use his kind of good fortune. The Pistons have just 18 chances in 1,000 of landing the No. 1 pick. Williams has beaten the odds three times -- once with Philadelphia and twice with Orlando."  Meanwhile, Boston will send "Miracle Milt" Palacio to the back room draw for its 11 chances in 1,000.  The Sonics are sending Nate McMillan and his lucky rock for their 6 chances in 1,000.
