Five ties among teams that finished the 2016-17 NBA regular season with identical records were broken today through random drawings to determine the order of selection for NBA Draft 2017 presented by State Farm, which will be held on Thursday, June 22.

The drawings were conducted by NBA Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations Kiki VanDeWeghe in Secaucus, N.J, and broadcast live on NBA TV. The tiebreaker process was overseen by Denise Pelli, a representative from the accounting firm of Ernst & Young.

The results of the drawings:

• Minnesota (31-51) won a tiebreaker with New York.
• Portland (41-41) won a tiebreaker with Chicago.
• Milwaukee (42-40) won a tiebreaker with Indiana.
• Atlanta (43-39) won a tiebreaker with Memphis.
• The LA Clippers (51-31) won a tiebreaker with Cleveland, Toronto and Utah. Second, third and fourth place in the tiebreaker drawings went to Utah, Toronto and Cleveland, respectively.

1. Lakers
2. Celtics
3. Knicks


that's my prediction

 

[Captain Crunch]

I wish there was a way for the top 3 to go Philly; LA, then NYK. It's gon be lame to see a top 3 pick rot on the bench in Boston.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Fultz

Hopefully they'll try to flip him in a draft night trade

 

[Big Boss]

Watch they rigged it

 

[GOAT]

If the Celtics get the number 1 pick tomorrow and follow it up with a Game 1 victory over Cleveland, where does that rank in the greatest three day stretches in NBA history?

 

[Monsanto]

The one bright spot of the Knicks year, our draft. I can't muster up excitement because our season is going to be washed, again.

Can't wait for that 2018 draft.

Please do not touch Lonzo if we move up.

 

[Illuminatos]

I personally guarantee the Knicks will land a top 3 pick.

Quote it, stamp it, bookmark it. It's a new era of Knicks basketball led by Phil Jackson starting tomorrow night.

 

[Populair]

The Bulls should be one of the 14 teams here. fukk this lottery :starebulls:. And yes I'm mad. You mad that I'm mad?

Bugging. Lonzo needs to wear a Knicks uniform.

If not on the Knicks, I want to see a Lonzo/Booker backcourt. I really don't want him on the Lakers.

 

[Houston911]

Why would Sacramento get the philly pick?

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

Celtics
Lakers
Sixers
Suns
Magic

 

[LezJepzin]

So Sacramento can't win the draft lottery?


I still expect more Vlade and Vivek fukkery on draft day
