How NBA teams get rookie options

The NBA draft is divided into two rounds, and when a player is selected in the first round, the team that drafted him must sign him to a contract with a minimum of one year.

The team with the worst season finishes the first draft in the first round.

Mainly by having real skills; If you play well; It will definitely be used.

Rankings from the previous season.

Teams that can make the playoffs in the NBA receive draft picks in reverse order of their regular season record.

First-round picks: The top picks belong to the 14 teams that didn't make the playoffs last season, and these teams will participate in a lottery to determine the order of each team's draft.

The next 16 picks are reserved for the teams that make the playoffs, and the order of the 16 picks is based on their regular season records, with the teams with worse and worse picks higher in the draft, so the teams with the best regular season records last season are the last in the draft.

The second-round draft picks are in reverse order of regular season record.

NBA rookies can not sign with teams that have drafted them. But he can't play for other NBA teams, and signing with a team at the same time is not the same as playing for the team, because the first round of the NBA draft is a guaranteed contract under the NBA.

The guaranteed contract stipulates that the team must sign the rookie, and the arrangement changes greatly after the signing, but the team must pay according to the contract anyway.

Guaranteed contracts, which often appear in reports involving NBA contracts, are a vague concept about player contracts. Guarantee contracts often mentioned in news reports generally refer to contracts that ensure that the contract does not lapse in the event of "lack of ability", "injury or illness", etc.

Generally speaking, the term "guaranteed contract" referred to in a news report refers to a contract with full guarantees; A "non-guaranteed contract" may be a "non-guaranteed contract" that is completely unguaranteed, or a "partially guaranteed contract" where only part of the salary is guaranteed.

The difference between protected and unprotected NBA draft picks is:

Depending on the ability, whether you will get a guaranteed contract, if you are protected, your reputation will naturally be greater, and your strength will be recognized, and if you are not protected, you may face various problems such as layoffs.

Traded for a protected first-round pick means:

There is a contract guarantee in the first round. The NBA Draft is one, two, or two rounds. The players in the first round generally get guaranteed contracts, while the players in the second round generally have a bitter fate, and may face problems such as layoffs and low wages, unless they are really strong, and players who rely on strength may also be guaranteed in the second round, like Arenas.

Knowledge expansion: In order to ensure that the level of land strength of the league's teams is not too different, so as to increase the excitement and visibility of the game, after the Finals every year, the NBA will hold an annual "rookie draft" conference in late June.

The newcomers to the "draft" are generally students from colleges and universities across the United States, and they are usually the best in the NCAA National Collegiate Basketball League.

For young players who participate in the draft, the NBA ranks them based on their performance in college (or high school). Then, NBA teams are ranked according to their winning percentage in the regular season this year, starting with the team with the worst performance, and selecting players in turn, each team can only select one rookie in each round, and the draft usually lasts 2-3 rounds.

If you lose the selection, you will be cleared out of the league, although many players did not enter the NBA, they are also excellent, and many players rely on their excellent results on the court in the later stage, so that the NBA knows that he is also very good.

Losing the selection is not necessarily the end of your basketball path, although some players do not have the opportunity to sign a contract with the NBA, but they will also sit in the starting line of their respective teams by working hard the day after tomorrow.

The losers were purged from the league, but it wasn't like they were out of hope after leaving the NBA, and some people were well developed through their own efforts, such as Robert Covington.

If you lose the draft, you should continue to work hard to increase your experience. Let's retake the audition the following year.

The losers of the NBA draft will be purged from the league or go overseas to develop, and the future development will be up to them.

If you don't make the election, you can go to other places to develop, and as long as you work hard, you can still become stronger!

If you don't make the cut, it doesn't mean you can't play basketball, and you can go elsewhere.

Most of them become sparring partners or play for their respective clubs.

You can continue to improve your level, or you can play in China.

The NBA Board of Directors met in Salt Lake City in June 1984 when they voted on the order in which first-round rookies were selected for teams that missed the playoffs. This system began in 1985. Prior to that, between 1966 and 1984, the team with the worst record in the East and West would decide who would be drafted first by flipping a coin.

In the NBA Draft draw, the team with the worst regular season record is the most likely to get the first pick, while the team with the best record that doesn't make the playoffs has the least chance. The draw will determine the order in which the first three teams are selected, while the remaining teams that do not qualify for the playoffs will be selected in reverse order of their regular season results.

During the draw ceremony, the host will place 14 table tennis balls numbered 1 14 in a drum-shaped container. Drawing 4 balls from 14 balls at random can produce 1001 possible combinations, regardless of the order of choice. Prior to the draw, teams participating in the draw were given 1,000 combinations based on their regular season rankings.

The four table tennis balls are drawn to the top of the container in turn to form a four-digit combination, and the team that wins this combination will receive the top pick. The four pong balls will then be returned to the bottom of the container, and the previous situation will be repeated to determine who owns the No. 2 and No. 3 picks. If the drawn combination is not within the allocated range, then the draw will be re-conducted.

After the 13 NBA first-round picks, teams that participate in the playoffs will receive draft picks in reverse order of their regular season record. In the second round, all teams will be selected in reverse order of their regular season record.

Many of the procedures and rules of the NBA draft, even today, are still like "seeing flowers in the fog" for some Chinese fans. By time, the annual NBA draft can be roughly divided into two parts. The first part is the draft draw:

The NBA has been drawing drafts since 1985, and every year when the playoffs are in full swing, the NBA will convene the teams that failed to make the playoffs to hold a lottery ceremony to determine the ownership of the future No. 3 rookies. During the draw ceremony, the host will take out 14 table tennis balls numbered 1-14, put them in a container, and draw 4 balls from the 14 balls at random, regardless of the order of numbers, a total of 1001 possible combinations can be generated, and remove this 11-12-13-14 combination, there are exactly 1000 kinds left. Before the draw, teams that did not qualify for the playoffs were ranked in reverse order of their regular season record and were given the number of combinations (probabilities) that would win the top pick.

For example, there are 14 teams that did not enter the playoffs this year, and the Hawks with the worst record among the 14 teams get 250 combinations, that is, they have a 25% chance of winning the top pick, and the Hornets with the second worst record get 199 kinds of chances, and so on, the Timberwolves with the best record among the 14 teams have only 5 combinations, that is, the chance to win the top pick. After the top pick is drawn, the four table tennis balls are put back into the container to decide the ownership of the No. 2 and No. 3 picks, and then the remaining No. 4-30 picks in the first round and the second-round draft picks will be determined in reverse order according to the results of the regular season.

The worst finisher last season will get the top three picks, and that's all after the lottery, and the best record is the last place in the first round.

The league will make different degrees of adjustments according to the current situation of the team For the development of the league will determine the chances of some teams getting top draft picks This is the unspoken rule of the league No one can say anyway, a team gets the top pick Hey difficult! 1
