NBA Draft Format Could Be Changing By The End of This Week

NEW YORK — The draft lottery is probably going to look a whole lot different by the time this week is over. Regarding the Philadelphia 76ers, it is going to ensure that their tank job for this upcoming season will not be replicated by anyone else anytime soon.

Under a proposal scheduled to be voted upon by representatives of the 30 NBA ownership groups, the formula for the draft lottery will change. As first reported by Zach Lowe of Grantland, the proposal on the table would give the teams with the four worst records equal 12 percent chances to win the lottery. Under the current formula, the worst team has a 25 percent chance of winning.

Also, the team with the worst record — that that is sure to be Philadelphia this season — will be guaranteed drafting no worse than seventh, as the first six picks would be determined by a ping-pong ball drawing. Currently, the worst team can pick no worse than fourth.

Seriously they should do a lottery in tiers

 

Top 3 Worst Teams - Lotto draws (worst team can get no higher than a #3 pick) 

 

Top 4-6 Worst Teams - Lotto draws (same format as above) 

 

Then everyone else should be placed in the order they finished. 

 

That way all sides are happy. 

 

ie still can't tank and be guaranteed a certain player, but at the same time you wont get royally screwed in the draft ie you will be drafting very close to where you should be drafting.

    • D Carr must have really disliked the saints to wait and do this announcement after the draft has passed if he made this call a few weeks before the draft sure they would have approached it and the offseason differently.  oh well will be interesting to see how their qbs perform.  would love to see them roll with Thill and just make the whole offense towards his skillset.  Although sadly would be only playing in about half the games with how often he gets injured. 
    • I have to say it's quite fascinating seeing you pivot from months and months of wailing and agonizing about threads derailing into Bryce Young slingfests only for you to turn around and do the same thing. And just for the record. Nobody in life ever attained wisdom and clarity from mistakes by having people blindly fawn over them and tell them they are above reproach and incapable of making mistakes. Our front office is just as human as we are. And based on the fact that front offices across the league outside of a handful of teams change on a fairly regular basis it's safe to say they are certainly no more infallible than the average Joe even though they possess significantly more knowledge usually. If you want a utopia where all you do is shine shoes for anyone associated with the Panthers you go right on ahead and create yourself a new community sir. More power to you.
    • I trust Morgan when it comes to LBs so I think Wallace will do well.
