2023 NBA draft lottery: Selection order for the 14 teams
The date and time for the NBA Draft have been scheduled for Thursday, June 22, 2023, at 8 p.m. ET.
The NBA draft lottery is an event that takes place annually to determine the order of selection for the first 14 picks of the draft. This year marks the 39th edition of the event.
The order of selection for the first four picks will be determined through drawings. The remaining teams in the lottery will then select their picks from positions 5-14, with the team with the worst season record selecting first and the team with the best season record selecting last.
The 2023 NBA Draft Lottery presented by State Farm will be held tomorrow night in Chicago and air live at 8:00 p.m. ET on ESPN.
