It's no fun cheering for losses. Some nice simple math:

25th-30th = 10%
17th-24th = 5%

Draft for all positions.

Also, it should be televised and overseen by a lottery commission. 2 balls for 10%, 1 ball for 5%. We get to see all the balls before they go in the machine, and someone with integrity and no vested interest pulls them out (ie. not the commissioner). We should also get some sort of infrared shot to verify that none of the balls have been frozen a la Patrick Ewing.
