The 2023 NBA Draft Lottery is approaching. Here's what to know about this years edition and how it works.
The NBA Draft Lottery is a process that determines the top 14 picks of the upcoming draft.
When the regular season concludes, the 14 teams with the worst records are entered into the lottery ping-pong-ball style with odds based on their respective spot in the standings. The lottery helps sort out which four teams of the 14 get to pick in the top four, while the rest is determined in inverse order by the standings.
Certain picks could defer to other NBA teams depending on if trades or pick swaps had previously been agreed upon. For example, the’ 2023 first-rounder is bound to defer to the Orlando Magic, which had been agreed upon in the deal that landed the Windy City Nikola Vucevic. The only way Chicago could keep the pick to prevent it from falling into Orlando’s hands is if it finishes anywhere between the first to fourth-worst record by the end of the regular season.Here’s how the odds line up for teams’ chances at landing the No. 1 overall pick, with the three teams with the worst regular-season record all having an equal opportunity:
