A total of 162 players were selected over seven rounds by the league's 23 teams.1985 NBA Draft https://www.basketball-reference.com/draft/NBA_1985.html Basketball-Reference.com 6 August 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110704084519/http://www.basketball-reference.com/draft/NBA_1985.html 4 July 2011 live The New York Knicks were awarded the first overall pick by winning the first-ever NBA draft lottery, which was held in May of that year.

Player Pos. Nationality School/club team David Cooke basketball PF United States Saint Mary's (Sr.) Dennis Nutt PG United States TCU (Sr.) Conspiracy theories about the first pick Some have argued that NBA Commissioner David Stern fixed the first overall pick to help his hometown team, the struggling New York Knicks. The lottery system used in 1985 involved a random drawing of seven envelopes from a hopper, with each of the then-seven non-playoff teams having an equal chance of obtaining the first pick. Inside each of the envelopes was the logo of a non-playoff team. The team whose envelope was drawn first would get the first pick. The process was then repeated until the rest of the first seven lottery picks were determined. In the U.S., CBS had live coverage of Stern pulling the envelopes from the hopper (as opposed to NBA Draft lotteries today where the actual drawing is held behind closed doors before the results are revealed on TV). The "frozen envelope theory" suggests that the National Basketball Association rigged its 1985 draft lottery so that Patrick Ewing would join the New York Knicks. Theorists claim that a lottery envelope was chilled so that it could be identified by touch.Roeper Richard Debunked!: Conspiracy Theories, Urban Legends, and Evil Plots of the 21st Century https://books.google.com/books?id=rEJp00sYu7AC&pg=PA80 2008 Chicago Review Press 978-1-55652-970-2 80 A similar "hot balls theory", promoted by Scottish football manager David Moyes, suggests that certain balls used in draws for UEFA and AFC competitions have been warmed to achieve specific outcomes.http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11671/7590220/moyes-uefa-hot-balls-cost-us Moyes – UEFA hot balls cost us Sky Sports 6 October 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140314191251/http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11671/7590220/moyes-uefa-hot-balls-cost-us 14 March 2014 livehttps://www.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/nba/2009-05-18-3301876890_x.htm USA Today Griffin the big gift at lottery's 25th anniversary May 18, 2009 May 20, 2010https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1985-05-14-sp-19104-story.html Los Angeles Times NBA's New Showtime: It's Called the Lottery Sam McManis May 14, 1985 May 20, 2010http://sports.espn.go.com/nbadraft/story?id=1383452 NBA out to prove conspiracy theorists wrong Darren Rovell May 16, 2002 ESPN April 8, 2012 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20121104101847/http://sports.espn.go.com/nbadraft/story?id=1383452 November 4, 2012 According to another theory, some claim that when an accountant from Ernst & Whinney (the same firm used by Gulf + Western, then-owners of the Knickshttps://www.si.com/longform/2015/1985/ewing/index.html The Ewing Conspiracy May 16, 2018 March 15, 2023 https://web.archive.org/web/20230315140902/https://www.si.com/longform/2015/1985/ewing/index.html dead) inserted the seven envelopes into the glass drum, some have claimed that he banged the fourth one against the side of the drum to create a creased corner, thereby making it easier for Stern to determine which envelope to choose: the envelope containing the Knicks logo.Rosenberg Michael Viewpoint: Sports conspiracy theories https://www.si.com/more-sports/2010/10/29/conspiracy-theories Sports Illustrated 16 May 2017 29 October 2010 live https://web.archive.org/web/20180218090512/https://www.si.com/more-sports/2010/10/29/conspiracy-theories 18 February 2018 According to this theory, as the drum was being spun by NBA security director Jack Joyce, Stern was watching the envelopes closely. He then opened the drum, took a deep breath, reached in and selected the envelope with the bent corner and the Knicks logo. This has not been confirmed or corroborated by any official source, as most note that the spinning of the drum was far more forceful than any movement by Joyce, deliberate or otherwise.https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-draft-lottery-2020-conspiracy-theories-that-make-us-wonder-if-the-lottery-is-rigged/ NBA Draft Lottery 2020: Conspiracy theories that make us wonder if the lottery is rigged by the NBA August 19, 2020 Early entrants College underclassmen For the third year in a row and the seventh time in eight years, no college underclassman would withdraw their entry into the NBA draft. This year, however, saw a total of twelve players qualify for entry as college underclassmen, including a Sudanese born freshman center named Manute Bol, who would be considered the tallest player in NBA history at the time.

The NBA's green room is a staging area where anticipated draftees often sit with their families and representatives, waiting for their names to be called on draft night. Often being positioned either in front of or to the side of the podium (in this case, being positioned in the Madison Square Garden's Felt Forum for the first time the NBA draft used a green room therehttps://www.thedraftreview.com/historical-draft-events/green-room/1985-green-room-invites 1985 Green Room Invites - The Draft Review Matthew Maurer September 16, 2023 The Draft Review), once a player heard his name, he would walk to the podium to shake hands and take promotional photos with the NBA commissioner. From there, the players often conducted interviews with various media outlets while backstage. However, once the NBA draft started to air nationally on TV starting with the 1980 NBA draft, the green room evolved from players waiting to hear their name called and then shaking hands with these select players who were often called to the hotel to take promotional pictures with the NBA commissioner a day or two after the draft concluded to having players in real-time waiting to hear their names called up and then shaking hands with David Stern, the NBA's commissioner at the time.https://www.thedraftreview.com/sundry/sundry-articles/draft-broadcasts Draft Broadcasts June 18, 2024 The Draft Review https://web.archive.org/web/20260417052448/https://www.thedraftreview.com/sundry/sundry-articles/draft-broadcasts 2026-04-17 The NBA compiled its list of green room invites through collective voting by the NBA's team presidents and general managers alike, which in this year's case belonged to only what they believed were the top 13 prospects at the time.Green Room - The Draft Review https://www.thedraftreview.com/historical-draft-events/green-room https://web.archive.org/web/20250326141933/https://www.thedraftreview.com/historical-draft-events/green-room 2026-08-18 2025-03-26 However, for the fourth year in a row, one invite in Dwayne McClain would end up staying in the green room beyond the first round of the draft.
