NBA Draft Lottery Explained | Jahronmon

NBA Playmaker Jaron Ramos breaks down the NBA draft lottery process.

Great explanation Jaron aka "Jahronmon". For everyone out there still having difficulties understanding the process hopefully this simplifies it.
- There are 14 balls numbered 1 through 14 for the 14 teams that didn't make it to the playoffs.
- In the draft 4 balls are selected each time, creating 1001 different combinations using those 14 numbers i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4 or 14, 1, 2, 5 etc..
- Instead of 1001, the league uses 1000 combinations to make it comparable to 100% and randomly assigns those combinations to teams.
- What that means is: NY, Cleveland and Phoenix, which have a 14% chance to get the first pick, each get 140 different combinations; the Lakers, which only have a 2% chance of getting the top pick will only get 20 combinations.
- The only team that is guaranteed a top 5 pick in the draft is the team with the worst record: 2019- NY

I was confused when I saw this in my feed. Thought it was just my YouTube messing up, saying a Jahronmon video was from the NBA channel, but no. Great to see my boy moving on up

The NBA is the best sports league on YouTube. They actually get real YouTubers to help make content!

it seems cool in all but it makes more competitive sense to do it like the nfl where its just based of of reccord

[iana.dickson]

How about those teams that are COMMITTED to WINNING and aren't trying to SABOTAGE games to acquire a draft pick because the players that they have on the roster doesn't fit the Offensive OR Defensive Philosophy the Head Coach is trying to instill into his team?

[AirJordon]

This still makes no sense, and the new odds are dumb, I know there trying to prevent tanking but for only one of the bottom 3 teams (14% chance each to get no. 1) to make it in top 4 this year and it only being the number 3 spot for Knicks then the system is flawed. This lottery is going cause bad teams to stay bad for a long time. Tanking isn't as big a problem as they think. Bottom 3 should be guaranteed a top 4 spot with worst team having best chance at 1 if they must have a lottery. Last night was a joke

In 2003 Cleveland won the draft lottery over choose a unknown kid from Akron Ohio

Still don't understand. If the worst team has 250 combinations, aren't they most likely gonna have the worst pick in the draft lottery?

[RipperRoo]

I knew that I wasn't trippin' when I heard NBA Street sound effects.

[theorysf]

Wouldn’t make more sense if the team with the worst record get the first pick overall?!

[Chilly]

Ugh.. Watched 5 TIMES TIL. I UNDERSTOOD THIS.

[jaydumon]

So do they just go again for the second and third if they pick a combo of a team that already got the first or second pick?

[nathanyidnekachew]

Yo you going places I love your shoe of the week vid

[COMBATLOUIE]

[spida]

The nba draft lottery should work by the worst teams first then the best teams last picks if u agree like
