These players usually come from American universities, but in recent years, more and more international players and high school graduates have participated in the draft. Draft rules NBA draft is divided into two rounds, and each team selects players according to some predetermined rules. The top pick belongs to the 14 team that did not enter the playoffs last season. These teams will take part in the lottery to decide the draft order of each team. Usually, the worse the record last season, the greater the chances of winning the champion. The next 65,438+06 draft picks are reserved for those teams that enter the playoffs. The draw order of these 65,438+06 teams is based on their record in the regular season. The team with worse performance ranks higher in the draft, so the team with the best record in the regular season last season ranks last in the draft.

In the NBA draft draw, the team with the worst record in the regular season is most likely to win the first draft, while the team with the best record in the playoffs has the least chance. The draw will determine the order of the first three teams, while the remaining teams that missed the playoffs will be selected in the reverse order of the regular season records. In the lucky draw ceremony, the host will put 1- 14 ping-pong balls in a drum container. Randomly selecting four balls from 14 balls can generate 100 1 possible combinations, regardless of the selection order. Before the draw, the teams participating in the draw were ranked according to the regular season and got the combination of 1000. Four table tennis balls will be drawn to the top of the container in turn to form a four-digit combination, and the team that gets this combination will get the first draft. Then, the four ping-pong balls will be sent back to the bottom of the container, and then the previous situation will be repeated to decide who the second and third draft picks belong to. If the selected combination is not within the allocation range, the lottery will be re-drawn.
