		The 2006 NBA Draft Lottery, where ping-pong balls supplant basketballs as the tools of determining supremacy, will be held on Tuesday, May 23, at the NBA Entertainment Studios in Secaucus, New Jersey.
		The NBA Board of Governors, meeting in Salt Lake City in June of 1984, voted to adopt a lottery system among the non-playoff teams to determine their order of selection in the first round of the NBA Draft beginning in 1985.
		Under the system adopted prior to the 1985 NBA Draft, the NBA Lottery determines the order of selection for the non-playoff teams (or the teams holding their picks through trades) for the first round only.

	NBA Draft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As of the 2006 NBA Draft, however, high school players must wait a year after their graduation class has finished high school before being eligible for selection.
		After this date, prospective draftees may attend NBA pre-draft camps and individual team workouts to show off their skills and obtain feedback regarding their draft positions.
		The NBA considers all players from outside the 50 United States and the District of Columbia to be "international," even if they come from political entities that share a common citizenship with the U.S., such as Duncan's original home of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

	washingtonpost.com: School's Out for NBA's Latest
		The increase in high schoolers jumping directly to the NBA -- four were taken in the first round this year after no more than two in any previous draft -- is worry enough.
		But the NBA's developmental league, which starts play in November, almost surely will cause even more players to leave college early and force coaches to rethink their priorities.
		The worry for college coaches is players not good enough to be chosen in the first two rounds of the NBA draft will, after turning 20 and with as much as two years of eligibility left, bolt for the NBDL.
