How to choose a rookie for NBA teams!

The NBA draft is divided into two rounds, and each team selects players according to some predetermined rules. The 14 team that didn't enter the playoffs last season won the first round draft of the former 14 team. These teams participate in the lottery before the draft to decide the draft order of each team. The 16 team that reached the playoffs last season won the draft pick of 16 after the first round. The draw order of this 16 team is determined according to their record in the regular season, and the team with poor performance ranks high in the draft. So the team with the best record in the regular season last season will be at the end of the draft. It is worth mentioning that in the 2004 draft, the Detroit Pistons, who finally won the championship, ranked last, while the Indiana Pacers, who ranked first in the regular season.

The second draft is in the same order as the first draft. However, NBA teams are allowed to use their rights in the second draft as a bargaining chip in the player trading market for the season and exchange the players they need from other teams. Therefore, the second draft can only be determined after the qualification exchange of the second round of trials of each team.

Every team in the NBA must select at least one rookie player during the whole draft. At the same time, NBA rules also prohibit any team from trading their first-round draft pick for two consecutive years. The introduction of this rule was partly due to the operation of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the early 1980s. During the period from 1980 to 1983, Ted Stepan was the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers. His series of questionable player transactions made the Cavaliers lose the first-round draft pick for several years. Stapin's failed player trading actions almost ruined the Cavaliers. In the end, the NBA had to put pressure on Stapin to sell the Cavaliers, and then Cleveland local rich Gordon Gunder became the owner of the Cavaliers. In order to facilitate this transaction, the NBA gave the Cavaliers several future draft picks. This rule is only valid for the "future" draft.

For example, in the 99-00 season, teams can send away the first-round draft pick in 2000, regardless of whether they have the first-round draft pick in 1999, because the draft pick in 1999 is no longer a "future" draft pick. But they can't exchange first-round draft picks at 00 and 0 1. This is why many teams sell draft picks every other year. In addition, as long as the team has the first round draft right of the year, whether it is won by itself or obtained from other teams during the transfer, it can be counted. As long as there is one, it doesn't matter if all the others are sold.

NBA draft

The Board of Directors of NBA held a meeting in Salt Lake City in June, 1984. At that time, they voted to decide the order in which the teams that missed the playoffs chose the first round rookie. This system started at 1985. Before that, between 1966- 1984, the team with the worst record in the east and west will decide who will win the first draft by flipping a coin.

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 ping-pong 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.

Draft jargon

The so-called lottery area: After the first round of the NBA 14 draft, the teams participating in the playoffs will get the draft right in the reverse order of the regular season record. In the second round, all teams will choose according to the record of the regular season. Therefore, the top 14 is the protection clause of the lottery area.
