Five ties among teams that finished the 2008-09 NBA regular season with identical records were broken today through random drawings to help determine the order of selection for the 2009 NBA Draft, which will be held on Thursday, June 25 at The WaMu Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
The drawings were conducted earlier today in New York City at the Board of Governors meeting by Stu Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations.
The results of the drawings:
--Washington (19-63) won a tiebreaker with the Los Angeles Clippers
So I guess that means if the draft order stands pat then we likely lose out on Rubio... 2nd year in a row Clippers lose the coin toss! Can't we win anything? Clippers will get the second pick in the second round #32 overall but I believe they owe it to Portland as part of the Mike Taylor trade. Tough break.
