Lightning Draft

Fantasy basketball draft order randomizer

Classic Lightning. One line at the free throw line, two balls. Make your shot before the shooter behind you makes theirs, or you are knocked out. First one out picks last. Last one standing picks first.

First swatch is the jersey, second is the shorts.

For entertainment only. The line is shuffled at random before tip-off, so everyone has identical odds going in. Every free throw has the same odds for every manager, and so does every putback.
