The Fastbreak
A draft order randomizer your league can watch. Put your managers on the floor and let them run it. Everybody breaks from their own baseline at the same time, and the order they get to the rim is the order they pick in. It is free, nobody needs an account, and the link you get at the end replays the same race for anyone who missed it.
Two to twenty runners, which is the same range of league sizes the rest of the site works with. Blank lines are ignored, so you can paste a list straight out of your league page.
Some leagues reward the winner of the race with the first pick and some hand it to whoever finishes last. Both are here, and the floor says which one is running.
The draw happens before the first step. The order is settled by the random number generator your browser uses for encryption, and every possible order is exactly as likely as every other. The race is then built to end in that order, which is why the replay link always finishes the same way and why nothing that happens on the floor can change the result. That includes the run itself: everybody angles in toward the basket at the end because that is what a break looks like, and the lane already lined up with the rim wins no more often than any other.

The order
The replay link carries the names and the race itself inside the address, so nothing about your league is stored anywhere and the link keeps working for as long as this page does. Sending it to somebody shows them the same race, ending the same way.
About the Fastbreak
A draft order randomizer your league can watch
Most draft lottery tools print a list. The Fastbreak draws the same random draft order and then shows it as a race: every manager gets a runner in their own jersey, they break from the baseline together, and the order they reach the rim is the order they pick in, either first to dunk picks first or first to dunk picks last, whichever rule your league uses. It works for any fantasy basketball league from two to twenty teams, and because it is only a draw and a picture it works just as well for a fantasy football, baseball or hockey draft.
The draw is settled before the first step by the same random number generator your browser uses for encryption, so every possible order is exactly as likely as every other and nothing on the floor can change the result. Every draw comes with a replay link that runs the same race again for anyone who missed it, and the finished order copies as text to paste into a league chat. Once the order is set, Draft Hacker will help you draft from it and Roast My Draft will grade what everyone came away with.
Is the draft order truly random?
Yes. The order is drawn by your browser's cryptographic random number generator, using rejection sampling so that every one of the possible orders is exactly as likely as every other. The race is then built to finish in that order. The animation is a presentation of a result that already exists, not the thing that decides it, so nothing that happens on the floor can change who picks where.
Can I use it for a fantasy football, baseball or hockey draft?
Yes. Type any set of names in and it draws an order for them. The floor is a basketball court because this is a basketball site, but the draw does not care what sport your league plays, and it works for any league from two to twenty teams.
Does it run a weighted draft lottery?
No. Every manager has the same chance at every pick. A league that weights its lottery by last season's standings needs a tool that takes odds per team, and this one deliberately does not, so nobody can be accused of putting a thumb on the scale.
How do I share the draft order with my league?
Copy the order as text, or copy the replay link. The link carries the names and the race in the address itself, so nothing is stored, no account is involved, and anyone who opens it watches the same race end in the same order.
Does the draft order randomizer cost anything or need an account?
No. The Fastbreak is free and open to everyone, with no sign-up and nothing to install. It is one of the free tools on League Winner NBA, beside the NBA fantasy schedule and the draft grader.
