2027 NBA Draft Order: Picks 1-60
Oct 30 2026 14:49 · By NBA.com Staff · 0 Reads
The official 1-60 order of selection for the 2027 NBA Draft will be finalized at the conclusion of the
NBA Draft Lottery
. The lottery determines the order of selection for the first 16 picks of the 2027 NBA Draft. The order of selection for the remainder of the first round (No. 17-30) and the entire second round (No. 31-60), is determined by reverse order of regular-season record. Each NBA team receives one selection in the first round and one selection in the second round.
Lottery balls allocated to all 16 participating teams will be drawn to determine the order of selection for the first 16 picks in the first round of the NBA Draft.
Each team participating in the Draft Lottery will receive three, two or one lottery ball for the drawing:
Teams that do not qualify for the NBA Playoffs or NBA Play-In Tournament will receive three lottery balls each, except that – to provide an increased incentive to win – the teams with the three worst records will be “draft relegated” and lose one of their lottery balls.
The No. 9 and No. 10 Play-In seeds in each conference will receive two lottery balls each
The losers of the No. 7 vs. No. 8 Play-In games in each conference will receive one lottery ball each.
The NBA Board of Governors
approved the new “3-2-1” system for 2027
with a design to eliminate incentives for teams to prioritize their position in the Draft over winning games. The 3-2-1 Lottery will be in effect for the 2027, 2028 and 2029 NBA Drafts. Rules governing selection order beginning with the 2030 NBA Draft will be determined by a vote of the Board of Governors.
