Simulator

Simulator — assign draft positions

Assign a unique position 1–30 to each original pick. Results are computed by the same engine that backs the Decoder (no ownership logic in the UI).

Lottery simulation — deterministic, synthetic

Synthetic lottery — weights are not real NBA odds. Positions are deterministic for a given seed and arrangement. Seed makes results reproducible; higher weight biases toward a more favorable pick. Simulate populates positions above — the engine then produces the same allocation answer.

Standings simulation — deterministic, synthetic

Synthetic standings — order is not a real NBA finish. Positions are deterministic for a given arrangement and order. Enter pickIds worst → best (comma-separated). Apply spreads the order through positions 1–30 with the given seed; same order+seed always yields the same positions.
