  • Ties Broken for 2013 NBA Draft: Where does your team pick?

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Four ties among teams that finished the 2012-13 NBA regular season with identical records were broken today through random drawings to help determine the order of selection for the 2013 NBA Draft, which will be held on Thursday, June 27.

    The drawings were conducted earlier today in New York City by Jason Cahilly, NBA Executive Vice President, Strategy and Chief Financial Officer, and Dan Rube, NBA Senior Vice President and Deputy General Counsel.  The tiebreak process was overseen by Denise Pelli, a partner in the accounting firm of Ernst & Young.

    The results of the drawings:

    ·         Detroit (29-53) won a tiebreaker with Washington.

    ·         Philadelphia (34-48) won a tiebreaker with Toronto.

    ·         Houston (45-37) won a tiebreaker with Chicago and the L.A. Lakers; L.A. Lakers then won a tie-breaker with Chicago.

    ·         L.A. Clippers (56-26) won a tiebreaker with Memphis.

    Below is the order of selection for the 2013 NBA Draft, as well as the number of chances for teams in the 2013 NBA Draft Lottery, to be held on Tuesday, May 21.
