This method is done to ensure all franchises have a chance at the number one pick, whereas in previous seasons teams would lose on purpose as they were guaranteed to land the number one pick if they had the worst record in the league.
The odds of the team winning the lottery is based on their record during the regular season. The franchise with the worst record has their name on the most balls in the machine, and are drawn out one by one in order to establish a selecting order.
Winning the draft lottery means you hold the opportunity to make the first selection on draft night. The 16 teams who made the playoffs make up the selections. The further a team advances in the season, the lower the pick becomes NBA champion picks 30 th , runners up pick 29 th , teams that exited the Conference Finals pick 28 th and 27 th etc.
If two teams exit at the same time, the franchise with the better record gets the lower pick. The NBA draft combine is conducted at a designated time close to draft night. The combine is designed for a couple of main reasons; the first being prospects have their physical measurements taken in order to give accurate data to potential suitors. The second and most important reason is the draft combine is constructed so both players and potential employers can make their case. Players are put through every physical test imaginable both with and without the basketball in order to prove their worth.
These include measuring height, weight, body fat percentage, wingspan, hand length, hand width and standing reach. Other tests involve bench press, vertical leap, standing vertical, three-quarter sprint, shuttle run and lane agility. Lastly, players will go through both on the move and on the spot before all out scrimmaging. A series of interviews are then conducted in order for the player to meet the franchise and vice versa. Due to the event being an invite-only, the majority of lottery prospects choose not to attend, as they believe it can only be detrimental to where they lie on the draft board.
In contrast, players that are anticipated to be selected in the later rounds or perhaps not even at all are eager to attend the combine. Under the pre system, the team with the worst record would pick no lower than fourth. The new system will level the odds at the top of the NBA Draft Lottery so that the teams with the three worst regular-season records will each have a 14 percent chance of winning the lottery.
In the pre structure, the top seed had a 25 percent of winning the lottery, the second seed had a After drawings are conducted for the first four picks of the NBA Draft, the other lottery teams will continue to pick in inverse order of their regular-season record.

There are 1, possible combinations when four balls are drawn out of 14, without regard to their order of selection. Before the lottery, 1, of those 1, combinations will be assigned to the 14 participating lottery teams. The lottery machine is manufactured by the Smart Play Company, a leading manufacturer of state lottery machines throughout the United States.
Smart Play also weighs, measures and certifies the ping-pong balls before the drawing. The drawing process occurs in the following manner: All 14 balls are placed in the lottery machine and they are mixed for 20 seconds, and then the first ball is removed. The remaining balls are mixed in the lottery machine for another 10 seconds, and then the second ball is drawn.
There is a second mix, and then the third ball is drawn. There is a second mix, and then the fourth ball is drawn. The team that has been assigned that combination will receive the No. The same process is repeated with the same ping-pong balls and lottery machine for the second through fourth picks.
If the same team comes up more than once, the result is discarded and another four-ball combination is selected. Also, if the one unassigned combination is drawn, the result is discarded and the balls are drawn again. The length of time the balls are mixed is monitored by a timekeeper who faces away from the machine and signals the machine operator after the appropriate amount of time has elapsed.
The number of combinations that a team gets depends on their win-loss record in the regular season. The lower the record, the higher the odds. In addition, the team with the worst overall record will drop no lower than 5th in the draft order. Once the draw is finished, the results are sealed into envelopes. He will announce the lottery results live—starting from the 14th. Team representatives will also join the event virtually. There are a bunch of talented players who declare for the NBA draft.
