The 2011 NBA Draft Lottery not only cleared up the small matter of which team will pick No. 1 in the June selection -- that’d be the Cleveland Cavaliers -- but also settled a few question marks in the second round. The draft order for picks 31-60 depended in part on whether some lottery teams tied in regular season record picked higher than the teams they were tied with.
2011 NBA Draft Order: Second Round Sequence Set
For example, since the Nets were tied with the Kings in the regular season, and the Jazz owned the Nets' first-round pick, and Utah was slotted ahead in the first round after the lottery, the Kings get to leap ahead of the Nets in the teams' back-to-back second-round picks.
If that sounds confusing, just take a peep at the NBA Draft order for the second round. (See the first round order, as well.)
