Comment on NBA Approves New 3-2-1 Draft Odds
mill_city@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
Just want to point out some corrections, at least in my understanding:
- 16 teams total in the lottery now
- Winner of 7/8 game gets no lottery balls and is not a part of the lottery
- Loser of 7/8 game gets one ball
- 9/10 seeds both get two balls
- Bottom 3 teams overall get only two balls, but they cannot fall below 12 in the draft
- Remaining 7 non-play-in teams get three balls and can pick anywhere from 1-16
Additional restrictions:
- Cannot win #1 overall pick in consecutive drafts
- Cannot win a top 5 pick in three consecutive drafts
- Cannot attach top-12 through top-15 protections to newly traded draft picks
- League has expanded authority to reduce a team’s odds modify draft positions and/or impose fines in response to tanking
