I haven't totally thought this through... ;D

But wouldn't it be cool and much more interesting if we went from #60 to #1 on draft night.

I feel that the tension and drama would just keep building and building.

Can you imagine Wiggins, Embiid, and Parker sitting there waiting to see who's called at #3?

Or the final two waiting to see who will ultimately be #1?

It would make great theater.

But bad television. Crickets for the first 90 minutes or so.

Wouldn't the 60th, 59th, and 58th pick Embiid/Parker/Wiggins? Unless you're talking about a pre-recorded type thing.

Yeah, the current format has the crickets playing later.

I guess so?

The last pick would be the first overall.

This could be interesting, but with the actual draft not being a live process, it may take away a little bit of the excitement.

I imagine this would be more like a Miss America pageant.
