Question 970854
The probability is the same as picking 8 specific numbers out of 27. There is only one way to do it.  While one could pick the second tallest player first, the second tallest player will eventually be picked.  In other words, the denominator is unchanged, and while the specific numerator for a fraction may change, the total product will not.

(8/27)*(7/26)*(6/25)*(5/24)*(4/23)*(2/22)*(1/21) = 0.000009
