    * Please note that teams that finished the regular season with identical records will select in the second round in the reverse of the order in which they select in the first round, provided that if more than two teams are tied, then, as among the tied teams, each tied team will select one position earlier than it selected in the first round, except that the tied team that selected earliest in the first round shall, as among the tied teams, select latest in the second round. With respect to the ties between Atlanta and Charlotte (33 and 34); Boston and Minnesota (36 and 37); Golden State and Houston (38 and 39); and Philadelphia and New Orleans/Oklahoma City (42 and 43): since the order of selection in the first round for each pair of teams may change based on the results of the Draft Lottery, the order of selection in the second round cannot be determined until after the Draft Lottery is conducted (on May 23, 2006).
