As playoff contenders jockey for position over the season's final few weeks, teams on the other end of the standings are already looking ahead to next season. If your favorite team isn't on its way to the postseason this year, you may enjoy Hoops Rumors' newest feature: Our tentative 2012 NBA draft order.
The list is based on this year's "reverse standings" and will be updated every morning. Draft pick trades have also been included via footnotes, and teams who are tied in the standings are marked with asterisks. While May's draft lottery figures to shake things up a little at the top of the draft, our tentative draft order represents how things will look on June 28th if everything holds to form. You can check out the up-to-date list anytime using the link under Hoops Rumors Features on the right sidebar.
I thought that they go East West East West etc. if the worst team is in the EAST?
No, they go by overall record (worst first).
i don’t know if it is possible or not but it would be cool if you had a feature on the draft order that showed each team’s chance at the first overall pick
