The reason the West gets more points is because the West is better than the East. The point of the draft is to give the better picks to the worse teams, it makes sense that the bad teams should be picking higher. Bad teams in the west probably have an easier chance of picking first overall now since they don't get to see as many of the bottom feeding teams.
And I mean the last 4 first overall picks (thanks to the lottery last season) ended up out west...
