The second draft is in the same order as the first draft. However, NBA teams are allowed to use the second round draft pick as a bargaining chip in the season player trading market to exchange the players they need from other teams. Therefore, due to the transaction, the structure of the second draft is sometimes very different from that of the first draft.
First, the drafting process.
Lotto draw
1. Every season after the regular season, the NBA will draw lots for lotto, 14 teams 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.
2. Before the lucky draw, they will get a corresponding number of combinations according to their record. Which team draws the first combination, then the champion belongs to that team. When the top three drafts are decided, the whole lottery process is over.
According to the regulations, NBA officials, 14 team representatives and accountants who supervise the lottery will participate in the whole lottery process. 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.
Draft meeting
After the finals, the NBA will hold a draft meeting, and representatives of 30 teams, NBA officials and candidates will all be present.
1, * * * held two rounds of draft, the first round of draft order is:
The top, second, and top teams with good regular-season records are arranged in reverse order according to their regular-season records.
2. The team ranked first in the draft will choose 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.
Team selection
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.
II. Draft rules
cis-position
The order in which players are selected is called selection. The sooner a player is selected in the draft, that is, the higher the ranking, the higher his worth.
1. The first player selected in the draft is usually called the "No.1 scholar" (No.1 scholar), and they are usually the best among all the players participating in the draft. The second player selected is called "No.2" and the third player is called "Flower Exploration". Then it is called the first order in turn.
2. Among the two players selected before Jordan, one is "Dream" Olajuwon and the other is sam bowie. Olajuwon was finally elected to the NBA Hall of Fame, but Sam Bowie ended his career because of injury and made no achievements.
This shows that the NBA draft ranking is not necessarily directly related to the future development of players, and the players with lower draft ranking are not necessarily worse than the players with higher draft ranking.
age limit
1. According to the age limit of NBA draft, players must be at least 19 years old to be eligible for the draft. In this way, many 18-year-old players who have finished high school will have to choose to spend a year in college or hone their skills overseas before they can enter the NBA stage.
2.NBA hopes to reduce the situation that high school graduates rashly challenge NBA before deciding whether to go through the baptism of NCAA events. If this situation continues to expand, the excitement of NBA events will be greatly reduced. Therefore, NBA officials insist that NBA scouts leave the high school campus. Although the new age limit for conscription has caused a lot of opposition, it has also won some support.
Special provisions
Rules for American high school graduates to apply for conscription.
1. Players who have settled in the United States and completed their high school education can give a written notice to the NBA 45 days before the start of the draft, and then they will be eligible to participate in the NBA draft.
Once a player is selected by any NBA team, if he doesn't join the college basketball team, he is eligible to participate in the NBA draft.
3. If a player joins the college basketball team, once he gives up the opportunity to continue playing in the college basketball team, he can still be eligible to participate in the NBA draft.
4. A player who has settled in the United States and completed high school is eligible to participate in the next NBA draft if he is not qualified to participate in the NBA draft and signs a contract with a professional basketball team outside the United States. ?
Rules for overseas players to participate in NBA draft
1. Overseas players are eligible to participate in the NBA draft after reaching the age of 22. An overseas player who has never participated in an American college basketball team may be eligible to participate in the draft before his 22nd birthday, but he must be 18 years old before the draft.
2. He must send a written notice to NBA 45 days before the start of the draft, expressing his wish to be qualified for the draft. If an overseas player plays for the American college basketball team in the season before the draft, he must continue to complete or give up his college studies.
Extended data:
The NBA sets two dates every year, and all players who want to participate in the draft must announce their participation before the first date. After that, the NBA will set up a training camp for these players to show their abilities and skills to the team.
NBA draft
1. Newcomers who participate in the "draft" are generally students from American universities. They are usually the best in the NCAA National College Basketball League. For young players who participate in the draft, the NBA ranks them according to their performance in college (or high school).
Then according to the winning percentage of this year's regular season, NBA teams choose players in turn, starting with the team with the worst performance. Each team can only choose one newcomer in each round, usually 2-3 rounds.
2. In order to better embody the principle of fairness, the top three draft picks in the first round and the draft picks between teams with the same record should be decided by drawing lots. Before the draft, the NBA will distribute 65,438+0,000 table tennis balls, which will be marked with the selected serial number.
3. 250 teams with the worst performance in the regular season can be selected, and the probability of their first choice is 25%, and so on. Of the 1 1 teams that didn't make the playoffs last season, the chances of the best results are the smallest.
The NBA draft is divided into two rounds, and each team selects players according to some predetermined rules.
