All 30 NBA clubs with division, conference, and banner count. Built for team-draft office pools and season-long competitions.

Why this one

NBA Franchise Draft Board

This is a board for drafting NBA franchises, not NBA prospects. If you came looking for a big board of incoming rookies, this is not that — this is thirty clubs, drafted between friends, for a season-long pool.

Each club carries its division, conference and championship count, which is enough context to make the middle of the draft interesting. The banner count in particular is what turns pick eleven into a debate.

Team pools work in an office because the barrier is nil. Nobody needs to know a rotation to have an opinion about the Celtics, and a thirty-item board drafts fast enough to fit in a lunch break.

How it works

Running a NBA team draft board

1. Load the 30 clubs

Every NBA franchise is on the board with division, conference and its championship count already attached.

2. Split them across your group

Set the number of drafters and how many clubs each takes — six people taking five each is the usual shape.

3. Snake it so the order is fair

A snake draft reverses each round, so picking last in round one means picking first in round two. With thirty teams and a sharp talent drop-off, that matters.

4. Share one link and draft it live

Send the join link, set a pick clock, and everyone picks from the same board in real time. Spectators can follow along without an account, and the pick feed updates on every screen at once.

FAQ

NBA Franchise Draft Board questions

Is this a board of NBA draft prospects?

No. This template is the thirty existing NBA franchises, for drafting teams among friends. It does not contain incoming draft prospects or a rookie big board.

Can I draft players instead?

Yes, by importing your own pool. Upload a CSV of players and rankings and the same live board runs a player draft — the template only decides what is on the board to start with.

How long does a team draft take?

About ten minutes for thirty picks on a short clock. It is the fastest kind of draft to run in a room, which is most of why team pools survive in offices.

How much does it cost?

$49, once. That is a LiveDraft Lifetime license: unlimited drafts, unlimited participants, every feature, forever. It is not a subscription and there are no per-draft or per-seat fees.

Do the people I invite have to pay?

No, and they never will. Everyone you invite plays free, forever. No seats, no per-player fees, no account upsell. Only the person running the draft needs a license, so a twelve-person league costs $49 in total.

Is it a subscription? Does it expire?

Neither. You pay once and the license is yours permanently — no renewals, no expiry, no card kept on file for later.

What features does the license include?

All of them. Every format (snake, standard, auction, hybrid), custom CSV datasets with unlimited rating columns, photos on the board, anonymous auction bidding, live chat, spectating, auto-pick, the template library, and priority support. There is no higher tier to buy.

Do I need to know how to code or use a spreadsheet?

No. Start from a ready-made template in one click, or upload a simple CSV. We provide a downloadable template with the columns already set up for you.

How many people can join a draft?

As many as your format needs. Invite friends by username, set the draft order, and everyone joins the live room from any device — no installs required.

What draft formats are supported?

Standard and snake drafts, budget auctions with anti-snipe and max bids, and a hybrid mode that auctions the top of your board before drafting the rest.

What happens if someone loses connection?

The clock is server-authoritative, so the draft stays in sync for everyone. Anyone who drops can reconnect and resume exactly where they left off, and optional auto-pick keeps things moving on the clock.

Can other people watch our draft?

Yes — flip on public spectating and anyone with the link can follow along pick by pick, live.
