Official Vote for Draft Lottery

Do you want to see a Draft Lottery?

A. Yes
B. No

If you want the Lottery to happen do you want to include the top 3 or 4 picks in the Lottery. Everyone should probably still vote here so that even if you don't want the Lottery you will still have a say in how it works.

A. 3
B. 4

Now for the % chance of getting a lottery pick here is what the NBA rules are:

http://www.nba.com/history/draft_evolution.html

The NBA allows 13 teams in the Lottery. Would you like to see 16 teams in the Lottery (all non playoff teams) make it into the Lottery.

Chance for the 1st pick

Worst team record
A. 50%
B. 33%
C. 25%
D. 20%

The Lottery picks will be on a curve similar to the NBA rules. So we need to decide where the worst team starts and go from there. NBA starts at 25%.

Note: TuringComplete has said he would be willing to write a program to do this for us, if everyone is ok with him doing that.

Note: Please only vote here, there are other threads already started for discussion about this.
