Does a team have any incentive to be completely honest with the player for when they might get picked?
This is where the NBA combine becomes more important. Individually teams may not be totally honest, but the multiple team people present and offering evaluations should tend to produce something of a decent approximation to where, perhaps plus minus a few spots, the player's value is. John should have a pretty good feel where he falls - in the lottery, out of the lottery, end of first round, etc.
