The Grizzlies pick could be conveyed to the Boston Celtics depending on how the playoffs turn out. There was a tiebreaker to decide where the Kings and Pelicans who select. The Kings ultimately won that tiebreaker and will have better odds at landing the No. 1 overall pick.

The new format ensures that the team with the worst record — the Warriors — will not receive a pick lower than 5th overall. The new system has leveled the odds so that more teams have a better chance at landing the No. 1 overall pick. The old format set up so that the team with the worst record had a 25% chance of landing the top pick. The second seed was 19.9% and the third seed was 15.6% to get No. 1 overall. Now, as you can see above, things are much more flat.
