Mannix: NHL offers ready draft model if NBA faces canceled season
"After canceling the 2004-05 season, the NHL was faced with a choice: slot teams in the order they finished the '03-04 season, or improvise a weighted lottery system that gives each team a shot at landing the No. 1 pick.
The NHL elected to use a lottery and cooked up a creative solution. The amount of lottery balls a team had was based on two criteria: the number of times a team made the playoffs the last three seasons and the number of times a team had drafted No. 1 in the previous three drafts. Using that model, four teams each had three of the 48 balls in the bin. Ten teams had two balls and 16 had one.
Should the NBA adopt a similar system, it would be weighted like this:
Three balls: Minnesota, Golden State, New Jersey, Toronto, Sacramento."

Just like we'd have a good shot at a top 3 pick when we had the worst record....
oh wait..

True dat
Under this system we would have about a 20% chance at a top 3, 6.25% at a #1.
The year you are talking about we had a 25% chance at #1 and probably at least a 40% at top 3.
As a result of the NBA going dark and staging a lockout I plan on saying only depressing things until the season starts. If they put out the schedule I plan to also go and sit in the Arco parking lot on nights games would have been played. I will Tivo CSN on games nights. They can't stop me. Its my team and I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to.
Losing a whole season would be depressing for obvious reasons
BUT if we ended up drafting Drummond and the Maloofs sold to Burkle because of lost revenues… maybe it’d all be ok.
I like the average past 3 seasons idea personally.
I believe we’d have 2nd best chance at #1 with that and Wolves would have best.
Either way, I think a lottery pick in this draft is going to be great. This draft is super deep.

I like the last 3 seasons weighted
50% last season and then 30% and 20% for 09 and 08.
And then just draft in that order, since the lottery is really to keep teams from tanking.

The next draft is going to be stacked.
Especially if they adjust the draft back to high school eligibility.
