This year more than any other I believe has demonstrated the extreme flaws in the current draft system. While the new CBA went a long way to fixing this (much more likely a team other than #30 will win) it's still just broken. I'm at a loss of how to go about fixing it other than randomizing draft positions for all teams that miss the playoffs. Far from ideal but it sure beats the current situation.
I can't ever remember so many teams realizing they will miss the playoffs and just going into full tank mode. Sure it happens every year with the bottom couple teams but this... I'm sorry but this is just embarrassing for the league.
