I think I would be more in favor of it if the percentages were changed around. Charlotte deserves a higher chance than 25% to win the #1 spot. It probably should start at around 65% and go something like this.

1- 65%
2- 15%
3- 5%
4- 3%
5- 1%
6- .001%
..and so on.


Using these numbers as an example, but you get the point. In the NBA, anything past the #1 spot is really crap. Most impact players are found directly at the #1 and #2 spots. That's not to say that you won't find players drafted past those spots that'll turn out to be all-stars, but you aren't going to find your LeBron James, Dwight Howards, or Derrick Roses sitting at #10.

Anybody past the #4 spot should be below 1% with winning the #1 spot.
