EXPLANATION:The 22nd annual edition of the NBA Draft Lottery will determine the order of selection for the first 14 picks of 2006 NBA Draft.
In the table to the below are the odds each team has of winning the #1 pick in the 2006 NBA Draft.
ODDS FOR 2006 #1 PICK
1. Portland 25.0%
2. New York* 19.9%
3. Charlotte 13.8%
4. Atlanta 13.7%
5. Toronto 8.8%
6. Minnesota 5.3%
7. Boston 5.3%
8. Houston 2.3%
9. Golden State 2.2%
10. Seattle 1.1%
11. Orlando 0.8%
12. New Orleans 0.7%
13. Philadelphia 0.6%
14. Utah 0.5%
Fourteen ping-pong balls numbered 1 through 14 will be placed in a drum. There are 1,001 possible combinations when four balls are drawn out of 14, without regard to their order of selection. Prior to the Lottery, 1,000 combinations will be assigned to the 14 participating Lottery teams (New York’s pick goes to Chicago via a previous trade) by a computer.
The Portland Trail Blazers finished the season with the NBA's worst record (21-61), so they will be assigned 250 combinations. Utah, the best team in the lottery at 41-41, will have five combinations out of 1,000.
Four balls will be drawn to the top to determine a four-digit combination. The team that has been assigned that combination will receive the number one pick. The four balls are placed back in the drum and the process is repeated to determine the number two and three picks. (Note: If the one unassigned combination is drawn, the balls are drawn to the top again.)
The order of selection for the teams that do not win one of the top three picks will be determined by inverse order of their regular season record. Thus, Portland can pick no lower than fourth, Chicago (via New York, 23-59) no lower than fifth and Charlotte (26-56) no lower than sixth.
The actual Lottery procedure will take place in a separate room prior to the national broadcast with NBA officials and representatives of the participating teams and the accounting firm of Ernst & Young in attendance.
