How about keeping the current draft system and making it so if you win the #1 draft lottery
you can't pick higher than your last draft for 5 years. So this way you can pick 2nd 3rd 4th or 5th if you finish last every year. This way there is enough pie to go around for all teams that need to rebuild.
For example you pick 1st one year so for the next years the highest you can pick is 2nd. If you tank every year then the highest you can pick is 2nd 3rd 4th or 5th depending on where you finished last season.
After 5 years if you still suck then your eligible to pick 1st, but if your not you automatically get bumped down to your designated spot even if you win the draft lottery.
