Draft Pick Tracker: Feb. 20, 2014
1 / 4All-Star Weekend and the NBA trade deadline have passed, but the Suns’ roster (unchanged) and place in the standings (sixth) remain steady. Their focus now shifts to the remainder of the season, though they'll be keeping an eye on Washington, Indiana and Minnesota, all of whom owe Phoenix a conditional first-round pick this summer. A couple things to remember: Picks 1-through-14 are reserved for non-playoff teams. The order of the first 14 picks is determined by the Draft Lottery, which takes place every year in June. The lottery is weighted by record. The worse the record, the better chance to land one of the top three picks in the draft Playoff teams’ picks make up Nos. 15-30 in the first round. They aren’t determined by the lottery or any system of luck. They are arranged by regular season record, starting with the worst at No. 15 and ending with the best at No. 30.
