NBA Revamps Draft Lottery to Stop Tanking

The NBA Board of Governors voted Thursday to revamp the draft lottery, aiming to eliminate the incentive for teams to deliberately lose games.

The new system, effective next year, expands the lottery from 14 to 16 teams. Teams with the three worst records will receive two lottery balls, while teams finishing fourth through 10th will receive three. ipl-today.in

Additionally, teams will be barred from having the top pick in back-to-back years or being in the top five for three consecutive seasons. The measure passed 29-1, with only the Memphis Grizzlies dissenting.
