From the TSN Article..
So far, it appears some form of lottery system among the teams will decide the 2005 draft order.
''It is important to the league to determine the fairest way to allocate draft picks,'' said Daly. ''Is everyone going to love it? No, but in the end, I hope everybody says it is fair.''
''It has the potential to be a difficult issue. Our clubs all have individual interests in this, but for the most part, they have been good at keeping their eye on the bigger issue, which is the CBA.''
More talk on the draft may come at a league executive committee meeting next week and a board of governors' meeting on April 20.
