What happened: According to Vorkunov, an additional wrinkle in the NBA draft proposal being voted on today would set the order of the top half of the second round in reverse order of the top 16 first-round picks once the lottery is drawn. The detail was reported via league sources as part of a broader draft-reform package.

Why it matters: The change would alter the value of second-round picks by tying them to first-round position, affecting how teams price assets in trades. Reform to draft order touches every front office's draft-night strategy and the league's competitive-balance goals, building on the same lottery-reform proposal that could cap Memphis's 2027 Jazz pick.

What to watch: Watch for the outcome of today's vote and whether the reverse-order second-round provision survives in the final adopted rule.
