Since this book contains a lot of content about the NBA draft, many fans may not know much about the NBA draft. Here, the author consults the information and shares the important content of the draft with readers.
The nba draft is an annual nba event. In the draft, 30 nba teams can select young male players who want to join the nba. These players are usually from the American college level, but in recent years, international players have been selected.
Players and high school graduates are increasingly being drafted and are known as NBA rookies.
nba draft rules many procedures and rules of nba draft are still like "seeing flowers in the smoke" to some Chinese fans nowadays. Divided by time, the annual nba draft can be roughly divided into two parts. The first part is the draft lottery: nba
The draft lottery has been implemented since 1985. Every year when the playoffs are in full swing, the NBA will convene the teams that failed to enter the playoffs to hold a lottery ceremony to determine the ownership of the top three rookie picks in the future. During the lottery ceremony, the host
You will take out 14 table tennis balls numbered 1-14, put them in a container, and randomly pick 4 balls out of the 14 balls. Regardless of the order of the numbers, a total of 1001 possible combinations can be generated. If you remove this
11-12-13-14 combinations, before there are exactly 1,000 lottery options left, the teams that have not qualified for the playoffs have been ranked in reverse order according to their regular season records, and the corresponding number (probability) of combinations to win the No. 1 pick has been obtained
For example, in the 2004-05 season, 14 teams did not enter the playoffs. Among these 14 teams, the Hawks with the worst record were given 250 combinations, which means they have a 25% chance of winning the No. 1 pick. The Hornets with the second worst record
The team got 199 combinations, that is, a 19.9% chance. Based on this, the Timberwolves, who have the best record among the 14 teams, only have 5 combinations, that is, a 0.5% chance of winning the No. 1 pick. After the No. 1 pick is drawn, 4 ping pongs
The ball is put back into the container and the ownership of the No. 2 and No. 3 picks is re-determined. After that, the remaining draft picks No. 4-30 in the first round and the second-round draft picks will be determined in reverse order according to the results of the regular season.
In addition to the regular draft procedures, the NBA has also added some special provisions for American high school graduates and overseas players to participate in the draft. The following are the provisions of the NBA labor agreement for these two types of players to participate in the NBA draft.
Regulations for U.S. high school graduates applying to participate in the draft (a) A player who has settled in the United States and has completed high school studies may send a written notice to the NBA 45 days before the start of the draft, after expressing his intention to give up entering college to continue his studies.
Eligibility for the NBA Draft Once the player is selected by any NBA team, the following rules will apply:
(i) Subject to (b) below, if the player does not participate in college basketball, he will be eligible to participate in the NBA draft between the date he renounces the opportunity to attend college and the date he becomes eligible to participate in the NBA draft. If a
If an NBA team sends an invitation to the player as required every year, then that team will be the only team that can sign a player contract with him
In this part of the content, once the player does not declare to give up his eligibility to participate in the college basketball team after becoming eligible for the NBA draft, then the draft will be regarded as a "second choice" for him.
A player selected as a "second pick" will be subject to the applicable rules. If the player, after being selected in the draft because he forfeited his college basketball eligibility, did not sign a player contract with the team that selected him, nor did he fail to sign a player contract with the team that selected him in the "second pick".
Selected players (explained in the previous sentence) are called rookie free agents.
(ii) If the player participates in the college basketball team, once he later announces that he has given up the opportunity to continue playing for the college basketball team, he will still be eligible for the NBA draft.
The NBA team to which the player invites will retain the right of priority to discuss and sign a player contract with him one year after the draft date.
In this part of the content, once the player does not declare to give up his eligibility to participate in the college basketball team after becoming eligible for the NBA draft, then this draft will be regarded as a "primary" for him, and the next draft will be considered
Players selected as a "second pick" with "second pick" status will be subject to applicable rules
(b) A player who has settled in the United States and has completed high school, if he is not eligible to participate in the NBA draft and signs with a professional basketball team outside the United States, he will be eligible to participate in the next NBA draft if selected
, he will be regarded as a "player" as defined in Section 4 above. In this section, "professional basketball team" means any country that pays a basketball player who plays for him any type of payment that exceeds the ordinary life
Payout of money or compensation to basketball team
Rules for Overseas Players Participating in the NBA Draft (a) For the purposes of this section, an "overseas player" means any amateur or professional basketball player who resides outside the United States.
(b) An overseas player is eligible to participate in the NBA draft after reaching the age of 22. Any player who is over 22 years old and has not been selected in the draft on his 22nd birthday is called a rookie free agent.
(c) Notwithstanding subsection (b) above, an overseas player who has not played college basketball in the United States may become eligible for the draft before his or her 22nd birthday:
(i) He must be at least 18 years old before the draft takes place;
(ii) He must give written notice to the NBA 45 days before the start of the draft, expressing his desire to be eligible to participate in the draft.
(d) An overseas player who plays for a U.S. college basketball team in the season prior to the draft must comply with the provisions of Section 5 above regarding continuing to complete or abandon college studies.
As usual, the rules of the NBA draft lottery ceremony are as follows: put 14 ping pong balls marked with numbers 1 to 14 into a drum-shaped barrel, and pick 4 balls from them to form a combination result. A total of
If one of the 1,001 combined results is ignored, the remaining 1,000 results will be randomly assigned by the computer to 13 teams.
The worse the regular season record, the more results will be allocated to the team. The bottom team in the league will receive 225 results.
Then four balls are rolled out like a lottery, and a set of four numbers is generated. Whichever team's result includes this one will have the number one draft pick. Then the four balls are put back into the bucket, and the above is repeated.
After two processes, the No. 2 and No. 3 draft picks are all in their own hands (note: if the result is ignored, it will be invalid, the ball will be put back and the process will be repeated). There is no ball with the top three picks.
The team will receive the fourth to thirteenth rookies based on their regular season record. The worse the record, the higher the draft pick.
According to regulations, the entire lottery process will be attended by NBA officials, representatives of the 13 teams, and accountants who supervise the lottery. After the "lottery" is over, the accountants will put the cards with the logos of each team into three envelopes marked 1 to 3.
, and then seal it. Neither NBA Vice President Granick nor team representatives can know in advance what the results will be in the envelope at this time.
The NBA will then officially announce the results of the lottery. The 4th to 13th picks will be announced in order from low to high. Then Granik will open the envelope and announce the teams with the top three picks in order.
This means that the team named in the last opened envelope will win the "number one pick" in the draft one month later.
NBA Draft Lottery Rules The NBA Executive Committee met in Salt Lake City in June 1984, when they voted to determine the order in which teams that missed the playoffs would select first-round picks. This system began in 1985 and preceded that.
Between 1966 and 1984, the team with the worst record in the East and West would flip a coin to determine who would get the first pick. In the NBA draft lottery, the team with the worst regular season record was most likely to get the first pick, and
Among the teams that missed the playoffs, the team with the best record has the smallest chance. The lottery will determine the selection order of the first three teams, while the remaining teams that missed the playoffs will be in reverse order of their regular season records.
During the lottery ceremony, the host will place 14 table tennis balls numbered 1-14 in a drum-shaped container. Randomly drawing 4 balls from the 14 balls can produce 1001 possible combinations. Among them
Regardless of the order of selection, before the draw, the teams participating in the draw will receive 1,000 combinations according to their regular season rankings. Four table tennis balls will be drawn to the top of the container in order to form a four-digit combination. This combination is obtained
The team will get the No. 1 pick. Then, the 4 ping pong balls will be returned to the bottom of the container, and then the previous situation will be repeated to determine who belongs to the No. 2 and No. 3 picks. If the combination drawn is not within the range of distribution
, then the draw will be conducted again
Pick players:
All American players can automatically enter the NBA draft after they graduate from college. American players can also declare for the draft between after they graduate from high school and when they complete college. The NBA has set two dates for players to declare for the draft. All hope
Players participating in the draft are not automatically eligible for the draft. They must declare for the draft before or on the first day of the draft. After that, the NBA will set up several pre-draft training camps for players who may participate in the draft in the future.
, allowing players to show their abilities and skills to league teams in training camp. Any player can make a decision before the final announcement day to withdraw his name, decide not to participate in that year's draft, and finally declare to participate.
The fact that draft day is one week before the draft is important to current college players because they will not lose their college eligibility if they declare for the draft on or before the first declared day.
If they do not officially announce their participation in the draft until the day of the draft, no matter whether an NBA team ultimately selects them, they will lose the opportunity to further study in college. Another point is that if a player signs with an agent, then he will
Will automatically end college. When a player is selected in the first round of the draft, the team that selects him must sign a contract with him for at least four (3+1 or 2+2) years.
The player's team selected in the second round can "own" the player for three years, but the team does not have to sign with them. The earlier the player is selected in the draft, the higher his value will be in the draft.
The first player selected is usually called the "No. 1 pick", and they are usually the best players among all the players participating in the draft. However, just because a player is selected with the first overall pick in the first round does not mean that the player
Michael Jordan will definitely become a superstar in the future. He was selected with the third overall pick in the first round of the 1984 draft, but he is generally considered to be the two greatest players in NBA history. He was selected before Jordan.
One of the players is "Big Dream" Olajuwon, and the other is Sam Bowie. Olajuwon was elected to the NBA Hall of Fame after experiencing a great career, and Sam Bowie became
He ended his career hastily due to constant injury problems and did not achieve anything at all. This shows that there is no inevitable direct connection between NBA draft results and the future development of players. Players selected later in the draft may not necessarily be the best.
Worse than players earlier in the draft
After the team selects the rookie, they can choose to sign with him, or they can give up or directly exchange him. If the rookie is given up, he will become a free agent (unrestricted). If it is a trade, the rookie and draft picks who have not yet obtained the contract will
Similarly, after a team with zero salary value signs a rookie, it cannot trade him within 60 days. If the rookie is unwilling to sign with the team that selected him, and the team does not agree to trade or give up on him, the rookie will be expelled within one year.
He will not be able to sign with other NBA teams, and the team that selected him retains the right to sign for one year; the rookie can also participate in the next year's draft.
Chinese players in the NBA draft. In 1987, Song Tao was picked by the Atlanta Hawks with the 67th pick in the third round. However, due to successive serious injuries, Song Tao had to pass by the NBA. In 1999, Wang Zhizhi was selected in the second round.
The 36th overall pick was selected by the Dallas Mavericks; in 2001, Battelle went to the Denver Nuggets for trial training and participated in the preseason. In 2001, he joined the Nuggets as a free agent and started playing in the NBA from the 2001-02 season. In 2002-
In the 2003 season, he played for the San Antonio Spurs and won the championship, becoming the first player in Asia. On July 17, 2003, he officially signed with the Toronto Raptors, but later left the NBA due to technical problems [2] In 2002, Yao Ming became the No. 1 pick;
In 2003, before Xue Yuyang even proved himself in the CBA, he was picked by the Mavericks with the 57th overall pick in the second round, and was immediately traded to the Denver Nuggets. However, Xue Yuyang still has not had the opportunity to set foot in the United States; in 2007, Yi Jianlian
Six were picked up by the Milwaukee Bucks and Sun Yue was selected by the Lakers with the 40th overall pick in the second round, rewriting the history of Chinese guards not entering the NBA. However, he did not sign with the Lakers that year, but in August 2008
, the Lakers signed a two-year contract with Sun Yue, which means that the "Chinese Magician" will wear the Lakers jersey in the 08-09 season and appear in the NBA as the first Chinese defender 08-09
In the season, as Kobe led the Lakers to defeat the Magic in the East and won another championship, Sun Yue also won a championship ring. On August 1, 2009, the Lakers officially announced that Sun Yue was laid off. With Yao Ming announcing his retirement, the only remaining NBA player was

The new version of the age limit used to have many young players choose to directly challenge the NBA stage after finishing high school, and many of them became famous in the NBA. However, starting from 2005, this situation will become a historical memory. In the past, only players
You can participate in the NBA draft when you are 18 years old or older. However, according to the new age limit for the NBA draft, players must now be 19 years old or older before they are eligible to participate in the draft. As a result, many 18-year-old players who have completed high school will have to choose to go to college.
One year or go overseas to hone your skills, and wait until you meet the age limit before challenging the NBA stage. The reason why the NBA revised the age limit for the draft is mainly to reduce the number of high school graduates who have not decided whether to go through the NCAA competition and rashly challenge the NBA.
Draft, if this situation continues to expand, the excitement of NBA games will inevitably be greatly reduced. In the 2004 draft, 8 high school jumpers among the first 19 picks were favored by NBA teams, among which Howard was the top pick in the draft.
Joining the Magic camp, Shaun Livingston also wore the Clippers jersey with the fourth pick in the draft. Last summer, among the first 45 picks in the NBA draft, 6 high school graduates were spotted by the team.
