Picks 1-4 are determined by a weighted lottery drawing of non-playoff teams

Lottery odds are weighted by cumulative record over the last two seasons

The 1st overall pick is awarded by a drawing of ping pong balls

The 2nd overall pick is awarded by a drawing of ping pong balls

Remaining lottery teams, sorted by cumulative record over the last two seasons, fill out picks 3-4

Playoff teams, sorted by current season record, are assigned picks 5-12 - playoff outcomes have no impact

Rounds 2 and 3 orders are determined by just by the current season record
