when were the numbers for the draft boards posted after the drawing of the lottery
The draft board numbers were posted the same day as the lottery drawing , and for the 2026 NBA draft lottery that was May 10, 2026 at 3 p.m. ET. The full pick order was then published immediately after the drawing on the NBA’s draft order page.
What that means
- The lottery itself determines the top picks first.
- Once the drawing is finished, the draft board/order is updated with the new selection numbers.
- In this case, the order was available right after the televised reveal.
Quick note
If you meant a different league’s lottery, the timing can vary a little, but it is usually posted right after the draw ends.
