What system should that be? My opinion is unpopular, but simple. Each team that misses the dance gets 1 lottery ball. Picks 1-14 are all lottery picks. No one has any incentive to do anything except try their hardest to win.
Oh, but what about strong teams getting really good prospects? In the cap era, teams will be forced to trade top prospects once they realize they can't afford them down the line. In the grand scheme of things, it will all even out.

I like the straight draw for all the spots too. Your system could be revised slightly to make it more fair. All other rounds after the 1st round, the teams would pick in the reverse order. So in other words, if you got first overall, you wouldn't pick again until #44. If you got 14th, your next pick would be 31 (just outside the first round).
