Philippine Basketball Association Draft - Draft Lottery

Draft Lottery

Like in the National Basketball Association (NBA) Draft, a draft lottery determines which team gets the first overall draft pick, but in a much smaller scale; only the two worst-performing teams in the preceding season participate. The team with the worst record has a 67% chance of clinching the #1 seed while the second-worst only gets a 33% chance. The draft lottery is usually held prior to the finals of the final conference of the season.

Famous quotes containing the words draft and/or lottery:

    Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    I think people really marry far too much; it is such a lottery after all, and for a poor woman a very doubtful happiness.
    Victoria (1819–1901)
