SECAUCUS, N.J., May 24 (UPI) -- The Milwaukee Bucks won the NBA Draft Lottery Tuesday night and will have first pick in the June 28 draft.
The Bucks were the NBA's sixth worst team during the regular season with a 30-52 mark. The Atlanta Hawks were the league's worst team at 13-69, had a 25-percent chance of winning the lottery, but will pick second.
Portland moved two spots to No. 3.
The lottery dropped the New Orleans Hornets from an expected two spot to No. 4 while the Charlotte Bobcats, the third worst team last season, dropped down to No. 5.
The other lottery positions went as expected. Utah, Toronto, New York, Golden State and the Los Angeles Lakers round out the top 10.
The system of picking the top choices by lottery instead of only their won-lost records went into effect in 1985.
