Draft Lottery to be Held on Wed Jan 17th & Thur Jan 18th

We will be conducting our draft lottery on Wednesday, January 17th and Thursday, January 18th.....

The “Pennsylvania Daily Number NITE” lottery (http://www.palottery.state.pa.us/) on subsequent nights (7PM EST) will be used to decide who gets the #1 and #2 picks in the first round only. If the second pick yields the same result as the first night, then a third night’s lottery drawing will be used. The remaining 10 teams will draft in reverse order of record. So, the team with the poorest record can do no worst than pick third in the first round.
