In 1986, many lottery teams had traded their first-round draft picks, and as a result, the top two teams in the Draft Lottery were playoff teams, with the eventual NBA champion Boston Celtics picking second, a pick (Len Bias) which would eventually haunt the franchise (Bias, expected to be a star for years to come, died two days after the draft of a cocaine overdose; the team has not won a championship since). The Philadelphia 76ers, who won the lottery on the draw from a trade with the then-San Diego Clippers in the late 1970s where the Clippers picked up Joe Bryant in return for the 1986 first-round pick, traded it to Cleveland afterwards.Thus began a rule change beginning in 1987 when only the top three picks would be selected by the traditional lottery, again with the same policy. Therefore, the team with the worst overall record cannot get a draft pick lower than fourth, and the bad luck such as that faced by the Warriors in 1985 could not happen again.
In 1990, however, the NBA changed the format of the lottery to give the worst team the most chances of landing the top pick. *For the 11 non-playoff teams that season, the team with the worst record would have 11 chances, the second worse would have 10, etc*. However, the Orlando Magic defied the odds by gaining two number one picks consecutively, despite the fact that they were the best non-playoff team the second year.
Thus, beginning with the 1995, lottery the chances were weighed even more, so that the best non-playoff team would only have a slim (0.5%) chance of receiving the top pick.
Thus, the term "lottery pick" in the NBA usually denotes a pick of one through fourteen overall. Furthermore, non-playoff teams in the NBA are called lottery teams
