Live broadcast bar, May 17-the lottery draw meeting in 2023 came down today. Fortunately, Spurs won the first prize, while the piston with the worst record this season only won the 5th.
In order to restrain some teams from playing bad, NBA has changed the lottery rules since 2019, from the team with the worst record to the top three teams with the worst record, they all have the biggest probability to win the top. After changing the rules, the team with the worst record in the season had never won the first prize.
The following is the draw for four years from 19 to 22:
2019: Pelican won the top prize, and Knicks had the worst record in the 18-19 season.
2020: Timberwolves won the top prize, and the Warriors had the worst record in the 19-20 season.
2021: the piston was the No. 1 player, and the rocket had the worst record.
2022: Magic won the first place, and the rocket has the worst record.
