RE: Three Changes that Need to be Made to the NBA Draft
Another idea I would like to throw out there is rewarding the teams in the 9th, 10th, or 11th spots with a better chance in the NBA Lottery. Possibly even give them the highest chances. It would make the competition intriguing. Its not as drastic of a rule change and would encourage teams to continue to compete well after the all-star break. Regardless, I think we can all agree that the NBA is broken (only because basketball is so different when it comes to baseball or football due to the sheer impact that ONE great player can have on your playoff chances) when it comes to the draft and it makes it EXTREMELY unfair to the fans of these tanking teams.
I totally agree with what you said about the NBA being broken due to the impact a single player can have on a team. I think giving the teams with a better record a better chance at the top picks, but to randomly give it to the 9th, 10th, and 11th, teams seems odd. I assume you meant 12th, 13th, 14th?
Either way, that's why I think evening the odds across the board would be the best option. Teams would compete hard for those wins.
