The idea of letting teams pick who they play seems pretty dumb to me. It’s not like I have any strong reasons to be against it; I guess I’m just more old school. The point of getting the one seed is so you get to play the worst team in the playoffs. Just because you can’t beat them doesn’t mean you should get out of playing them. That’s part of sports. As a number one seed, you should be the best team in the conference. If that is true, get up and play whoever you are told to!
