Step 1: Player application
Before the draft meeting, players need to submit draft applications to NBA officials and complete physical examination and skill test within the specified time. After the application is passed, they can take part in the draft.
Step 2: Draw lots to decide.
The NBA draft adopts the lottery system to determine the draft order. The top three draft orders are decided by drawing lots, and the following draft orders are arranged from bad to good according to last season's record. After the lottery results are announced, each team can start to formulate a draft strategy.
Step 3: Draft Convention
On the day of the draft, the players walked onto the stage in suits and received congratulations and greetings from the team boss and general manager. Family and friends of the players will also be there to cheer for them. When a team chooses a player, each team has 5 minutes to make a decision. After the players are selected, they will put on the team jerseys and take photos with the team representatives.
Step 4: rookie signing
After the draft, the rookies will start signing contracts. Teams and players need to negotiate contract terms, including wages, bonuses, security terms and so on. Once the two sides reach an agreement, the rookie can officially become an NBA player.
