Picks 1-5 are determined by a weighted lottery drawing of non-playoff teams

Lottery odds are weighted by cumulative record over the last two seasons

The 1st overall pick is awarded by a drawing of ping pong balls

The 2nd overall pick is awarded by a drawing of ping pong balls

Remaining lottery teams, sorted by cumulative record over the last two seasons, fill out picks 3-5

Expansion teams, if any, pick next

Playoff teams, sorted by current season record, fill out the remaining picks

Rounds 2 and 3 are ordered solely by current season record, regardless of lottery status
