Will NBA's proposed draft lottery reform stop tanking? Maybe, but it's risky
The NBA has its newest proposed solution to tanking, and unsurprisingly, it has been met with significant questions.In what is being referred to as the “3-2-1″ system,” the league presented a draft lottery reform proposal to all 30 teams on Tuesday that could go into effect for 2027 if approved. Teams that don’t qualify for the playoffs or Play-In Tournament but avoid finishing with one of the three worst records would get three lottery balls (or an 8.1 percent chance at winning the lottery). Teams that finish in the bottom three, as well as the ninth and 10th Play-In seeds in each conference, would receive two lottery balls (a 5.4 percent chance at winning the lottery). The losers of the Play-In games between the seventh and eighth seeds in each conference would receive just one lottery ball (or a 2.7 percent chance at winning the lottery).Advertisementالمصدر: The Athletic | Source: The Athletic
