Traditionally, the rules of the draw ceremony in NBA draft are: put 1 to 14/4 table tennis balls into a drum, and choose four balls from them to form a combined result. A * * will have 100 1 combination results. If one result is ignored, the remaining 1000 results will be randomly assigned to 13 teams by the computer.
The worse the team's record in the regular season, the more results will be distributed. The team at the bottom of the league will get 225 results.
Then shake out four balls like a lottery, and a group of four numbers is born. Which team's performance includes this, it will have the first prize. Then put the four balls back in the bucket, repeat the above process twice, and take the second and third draft (note: if the ignored result is shaken out, it will be invalid, put the balls back and repeat the above procedure). Teams that don't get the top three picks will get the fourth to thirteenth rookies according to their regular season records. The worse their record, the higher their ranking in the draft.
According to the regulations, the whole lottery process will be attended by NBA officials, 13 team representatives and accountants who supervise the lottery. After the "lucky draw", the accountant will put the cards with the team logo in three envelopes marked 1 to 3, and then seal them. Neither granick, vice president of NBA, nor the team representative can know in advance what the result is in the envelope.
Subsequently, the NBA will officially announce the lottery results, and the draft picks from No.4 to 13 will be announced first in the order from low to high. Then granick will open the envelope and announce the top three teams in the draft, which means that the team marked on the last opened envelope will win the "No.1 pick" in the draft one month later.
