Every May, the nba will hold an annual lottery ceremony, that is, the teams that rank at the bottom of 14 every season (not advanced to the playoffs) will be put together to draw lots in the form of "drawing table tennis" to choose who can win the first prize.
Although each team has different chances to win the top spot, being able to win at least 14 in the top spot ranking means that the team has a chance to win a rookie and change the team's future.
Lotto draw:
Every season after the regular season, the NBA will draw lots for lotto, and 14 teams that failed to make the playoffs will participate. The specific rules of the lottery system are as follows: 14 balls are marked with the numbers 1~ 14 respectively, and put into rolling vessels.
If four digital balls are thrown randomly, regardless of the lottery order, there will be 100 1 different situations. Before the lottery1001(11,12,13,65438. According to the record, they will get a corresponding number of combinations.
Which team draws the first combination, then the top pick belongs to this team. (The number one sign may get all the combinations of the team, and the number two sign will be invalid after it is drawn. If an invalid combination is drawn, the ball will be put back into the container to draw again, and so on until the drawn combination belongs to the team to draw. ) When the top three drafts are decided, the whole lottery process is over.
According to the regulations, the whole lottery process will be attended by NBA officials, 14 team representatives and accountants who supervise the lottery. After the "lucky draw", the accountant will put the cards with the team logo in three envelopes marked 1 to 3, and then seal them.
Subsequently, the NBA will officially announce the lottery results. The draft picks from 4th to 13 are announced in descending order, and then the top three teams are announced in turn by opening the envelope. The team indicated in the last opened envelope will win the first prize in the draft one month later.
NBA draft:
After the finals, the NBA will hold a draft meeting, and representatives of 30 teams, NBA officials and candidates will all be present.
* * * There will be two rounds of draft. The order of the first round of draft is: the top draft, the second draft, the flower-exploring draft and the team whose record is from bad to good in the regular season. The order of the second round draft is arranged in reverse order according to the regular season record.
The top draft team is selected from all the players participating in the draft. The players selected by this team are the "top leaders". They are usually the best of all players or the most needed by the team.
Then the "second place" team will choose among the remaining players. It can be seen that there will be fewer players to choose from in the future, and there will usually be fewer excellent players.
When a player is selected in the first draft, the team that selected him must sign with him for at least four years (3+ 1 or 2+2), while the team that selected the player in the second round can "own" the player for three years, but the team does not have to sign with them.
If a player signs a contract with his agent, he will automatically end his college studies. If the rookie is abandoned, he will become a free agent (unrestricted). After the team signed a contract with the rookie, they could not trade him for 60 days.
