how does draft lottery work?
The lottery procedure occurs in a separate room — minutes before the national broadcast tips off on ESPN. Fourteen ping-pong balls, numbered 1 through 14, are placed in a lottery machine.
It’s officially underway when 14 balls are placed in the lottery machine, stirred for roughly 20 seconds, and the first is withdrawn. The remainder of them are jumbled in the lottery machine for another 10 seconds before the second ball is drawn. The team that is appointed this combination will receive the No. 1 pick. That process is replicated with the same ping-pong balls and lottery machine for the second through fourth picks.
Once they’re removed, 1,000 of the possible 1,001 combinations are assigned to the 14 lottery teams.

Which Team Drafts Bronny James?
LeBron James’ son was invited to the NBA Draft Combine while maintaining his collegiate eligibility. There’s still a chance he’ll wind up back at the D-I level after a rocky freshman campaign. However, FanDuel Sportsbook stationed the Lakers as +140 favorites to draft him, correlating with the notion of his father staying in Los Angeles.
This betting market will void if Bronny James doesn’t declare for the 2024 NBA Draft or goes undrafted.
