This draft marks the first time the NBA Draft Lottery was introduced it was put into place so teams did not have to intentionally lose games to receive the number one pick.
Spudd Webb was the winner of the Slam Dunk contest despite his small height.
The 2006 NBADraft Lottery, where ping-pong balls supplant basketballs as the tools of determining supremacy, will be held on Tuesday, May 23, at the NBA Entertainment Studios in Secaucus, New Jersey.
The NBA Board of Governors, meeting in Salt Lake City in June of 1984, voted to adopt a lottery system among the non-playoff teams to determine their order of selection in the first round of the NBADraft beginning in 1985.
Under the system adopted prior to the 1985NBADraft, the NBA Lottery determines the order of selection for the non-playoff teams (or the teams holding their picks through trades) for the first round only.
As of the 2006 NBADraft, however, high school players must wait a year after their graduation class has finished high school before being eligible for selection.
After this date, prospective draftees may attend NBA pre-draft camps and individual team workouts to show off their skills and obtain feedback regarding their draft positions.
The NBA considers all players from outside the 50 United States and the District of Columbia to be "international," even if they come from political entities that share a common citizenship with the U.S., such as Duncan's original home of the U.S. Virgin Islands.
