Hey guys! I had this idea that may make tanking a little bit less appealing. It will also make for some more interesting offseasons. If we had a draft lottery similar to the NBA then I think the offseason would be more fun and unpredictable! Post your thoughts!
Poll:  Would you want a draft lottery?
Yes
No
Maybe

I totally agree!
First of all, I think this should be implemented when possible. It's not an urgent improvment, but I think this game should be like NBA, because those are the best rules and examples we can follow.
As in NBA there are 30 teams and lottery is 14, here we have around half the teams 16 so we should have around half the lottry size too, 7 or maybe 6...

I don't like it because if you scout for the
1st draft choice and you get the 7th,
then the scouting points are worth nothing and you wasted them.

No, thanks.
I can live with some random, I don't like when the random takes over. The draft is already random enough, if we shuffle the teams too, then almost no team will have interest in investing in scouting points.

The Draft is random if you want it that way = No scout.

I like it but it must be just on the top 3 picks. It's unfair if they win the championship + 1st pick. Haha xD

Nope.
The draftees are generated randomly every season in every league. Of course the generation is not entirely random, but some seasons you can find 3 MVPs + 1 hall of famer, and the next season you can barely find 1 MVP. That's random.

The lottery should be for the top 4 picks (worst 4 teams). You could also break it in to pods.
4 worst teams draw for top 4 spots. next 4, next 4, next 4. This way the draft benefits the teams it should. The team who finishes dead last should not have to suffer by getting the 6,7,8 overall pick. You could also adjust the pods so that the top two teams auto get the last 2 picks. Top 4, next 4, next 6.
