Yeah... look at it this way...

Team A: 4-12, opponents win % = 44%

Team B: 4-12, opponents win % = 54%

Which team is "crappier" and in need of the higher pick?

Team A obviously, because they played weaker teams and won only 4 games... Whereas Team B played relatively strong teams, so winning only 4 games makes "more sense"
