2011 NBA Draft Lottery Odds

I am happy Cleveland won the first pick. Figures the pick came from the Clippers. LOL!

Utah also got a great pick at #3 thanks to New Jersey.

just asking.. how do we know that the Clippers pick is the pick that ended up #1? and not #4?

[Ground Support]

Their name wasn't called at 9 that means they jumped up to the top 3.

[ac-n-mike]

so if they werent called at 9 that means they are in the top 3 and not 4-8 ?

[Ground Support]

Ya. They only draw the top 3 picks. Everyone else falls in line in their order

[ac-n-mike]

lol thats not true....

[ac-n-mike]

Josh.. do I have to put GLADDY's video on for you?

you are talking sports out of a certain area right now LOL

[Ground Support]

Look it up. I don't know for sure but I do know if they don't call your name at 9 that means you got a top 3 pick.

In the current rules, 14 teams participate in the Draft Lottery. The lottery is weighted so that the team with the worst record, or the team that holds the draft rights of the team with the worst record, has the best chance to obtain a higher draft pick. The lottery process determines the first three picks of the draft. The rest of the first-round draft order is in reverse order of the win-loss record for the remaining teams, or the teams who originally held the lottery rights if they were traded. The lottery does not determine the draft order in the subsequent rounds of the draft.

what are you talking about? Should I bust the video out for you? Cleveland and the Jazz moved into the top 3, everyone else moved down in order.. Take out #6, and #9 and everyone else is in order from 4 down...


Should I bust the video out for you?

[Ground Support]

And yes, that means Cleveland and Toronto fell out of the top 3, but maintained their order off their record.

This is me vs. Adam.




I'm the schwab. Adam is the bald guy.
