What is the Nba draft for?
NBA draft is the right of each team to choose new players. At the beginning of each season, each team has the first-round draft pick and the second-round draft pick. Of course, draft picks can also be reduced or increased through transactions. Every year, there is an annual draft meeting in the NBA, and 30 NBA teams can select young players who want to join the NBA and qualify for the draft. These players usually come from American university-level competitions, but in recent years, more and more international players and high school graduates have been selected. The selected player is called a rookie. There are two rookie selections in NBA, one is the best rookie in NBA, and the other is the selection of NBA All-Star Rookie Game.
The order of the annual draft is decided by drawing lots. The top 65,438+04 teams belong to the teams that have not entered the playoffs in the past year, with 7 teams in the East and 7 teams in the West. The next draft is reserved for those teams that have entered the playoffs. The team with poor performance in the regular season is at the top, so the team with the best performance in the regular season is at the bottom; For example, in the 2004 NBA draft, the last one was not the champion Pistons, but the pacers with the best record in the regular season. The order of the second draft is the same as that of the first draft, but NBA teams will trade draft picks like players, especially the second draft picks; So the order of the second draft is sometimes very different from that of the first draft. Every team in NBA must choose at least one rookie in the whole draft.
During the draft, the president of NBA will announce the start and then start the five-minute countdown. The team ranked first must choose players within these five minutes. After the countdown, the chairman will take the stage to announce the selected players. If the player is present, he will take a photo with the chairman. Then start the countdown in the second 5 minutes, and so on. Therefore, a draft can last four to five hours.
Every year, each team will send scouts to inspect this year's recruits to see if there are any excellent or helpful ones. If there is, and the team is not in the top spot, then the team is likely to try its best to trade the top spot. Of course, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. There are many drafts in history that are not at the top, and they are all better than before. For example, Garnett ranked 5th in195, Kobe ranked 13 in/96, Nash ranked 15, O 'Neal Jr. ranked 17,197 and McGrady ranked 9th,/kloc-0. . .
