The NBA Draft Lottery: A Comprehensive Guide

What is the NBA Draft Lottery?

The NBA Draft Lottery is a process held annually to determine the order of the first 14 picks in the NBA Draft. The lottery system was created in 1985 to prevent teams from tanking (intentionally losing games) in order to secure the first overall pick.

How does the NBA Draft Lottery work?

The NBA Draft Lottery is a two-part process. In the first part, 14 ping-pong balls are placed in a lottery machine. Each ball is numbered from 1 to 14. The 14 teams that did not make the playoffs are each assigned a certain number of ping-pong balls based on their record. The worst team in the league receives 14 ping-pong balls, while the 14th-worst team receives only one ping-pong ball.

In the second part of the lottery, four balls are drawn at random from the lottery machine. The numbers on the four balls are used to determine the order of the first four picks in the draft. The team that has the number on the ping-pong ball that is drawn first receives the first overall pick. The team that has the number on the ping-pong ball that is drawn second receives the second overall pick, and so on.
