2012 NBA DRAFT draft order ? ( If year is lost )

[Dufferduck]

After watching the beginning of the college basketball season last night and seeing some of the prospects out there. I was wondering if any one has heard any thoughts or rumors how they would determine the draft order if there is a lost season.

Can't think off the top of my head what the NHL did in 2005.

2. Heat
3. Celtics
4. L*kers
5. Heat
6. Celtics

and so on and so on and so on...

really, no matter how the weighted draft is set up, the Blazers will not be in a good position. Not the worst, but most likely right outside the lottery. A 3 year weight would be bad for the Blazers. A 5 year weight would be better, but still nothing but middle of the pack result. And if the weighted based on if you won the top pick in the past five years like the NHL did, then the Blazers would get screwed again by selecting Oden.

Agreed.

Maybe if they take into account total player minutes lost due to injury we could really improve our position.

I like the way this guy Bucher thinks.

The simplest method, one source said, would be to base the order on the final 2010-11 regular season games lost to injury and then hold the lottery again. However, several sources said that is the least likely option because it would favor the particular circumstances of last season.

Another formula would order the 30 teams based on their aggregate games lost to injury for the last five regular seasons and then set the top 14 picks by lottery, according to a source.

A source also said the league could use the aggregate games lost to injury from the last three regular seasons and then set the final 14 by lottery.
