The Archers Lacrosse Club will select second in the Premier Lacrosse League's upcoming Entry Draft after winning Wednesday evening's draft lottery.
It was announced prior to the Draft Lottery that the PLL's newest franchise, Cannons LC, will select first in each of the draft's three rounds set to take place on March 25.
With the condensed 2020 season, the PLL gave all seven returning clubs equal odds coming into the draft lottery. With the Entry Draft order set, the league's offseason has officially begun.
2021 PLL Entry Draft Order
The ping pong balls did not fall in Coach Andy Towers' favor as his Chaos squad will select last in each round of the Entry Draft for the second year in a row. While he may have the last pick, Coach Towers doesn't seem too concerned.
Towers did select Dillon Ward and Jason Noble in last year's Entry Draft, so Chaos need not worry about their squad.
