There was some chat last night on the NBA GM site about the idea of having a lottery determine the order of the rookie draft. I am very open to that idea, and I have heard rumors that there is a website or two that is designed to help dynasty leagues with their draft's. A couple things to consider if we are to move to a lottery system:
1) There has to be public viewing of the draft order, so we can see the lottery positioning as they come out. 2) We have to determine how many teams are thrown into the lottery. Would it be ALL the non-playoff teams?
If anyone knows a good site to host our lottery, please pass on the info. In the meantime I'll start to do a little research.

We could do the bottom 14 teams and use the odds that the real NBA Draft uses. Check this link. If the worst team has a 25% chance on winning, they could get numbers 001-250. The next worst would have a 16.4% chance of winning, so they'd get numbers 251-414, and so on. Then we can use the excel function "=RANDINT(1,1000)" and match the resulting number with who "owns" it. We can make a page on the Master Roster spreadsheet so people can watch it happen; the "=RANDINT()" function recalculates every time you enter something into any cell.

Interesting Dan. I would like to see a test run how that would work.
