The NBA Draft is one of the most exciting events on the annual schedule. Teams select in reverse order by the final standings, with the top-four selections chosen by lottery. Playoff teams are not in the lottery. The league breaks any ties soon after the regular season.

Teams can trade or swap selections with various protections. The following lists the draft order in the first round based on final standings after NBA tiebreakers. The following is the draft following the May 16 lottery:
