How can an NBA team get a first round pick?

By time, the annual NBA draft can be roughly divided into two parts. The first part is the draft lottery: The NBA has implemented the draft lottery since 1985, and every year when the playoffs are in full swing, the NBA will call the teams that failed to make the playoffs to hold a lottery ceremony to determine the ownership of the top three future 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.

At the end of each season's regular season, the NBA conducts a lottery draw for 14 teams that failed to make the playoffs. The specific rules of the lotto system are that the 14 balls are labeled with the numbers 1 14 and placed in a rolling vessel. If you roll out 4 number balls at random, regardless of the order in which they are drawn, then there will be 1001 different situations [calculate 14*13*12*11 (4*3*2*1)].

Before the ** is carried out, 1001 of the 1001 combinations are excluded) may be assigned to the team in the lotto area. Depending on the merits of their record, they will receive a corresponding number of combinations. Whichever team has the first combination to be drawn, then the champion draw belongs to that team, (all combinations of the team that won the top draw may be invalid when the list is drawn, and if the void combination is drawn, the ball will be drawn again, and so on until the drawn combination is owned by the team to be drawn).

When the top three draft picks are decided, the whole process is over.

Every team has a good record, even the first record of the season, and Rose was the No. 1 pick the Bulls that year, and of course the Bulls weren't the best that year, but they made the playoffs.

It seems that the worst record is 25% The best is that the percentage is nothing, because if you draw it, it is 100%, and if you don't draw it, it is 0%, but next year is the elective year, and 03 96 84 have a rhythm of fighting (the propaganda is like this, but it will take 5 years to know the answer).

The NBA will then conduct a lottery draw for 14 teams that failed to make the playoffs.

Every team has a first-round pick every year, and the best way to get the No. 1 pick is to mess with it, and of course luck is important.

According to the rules of the league, the acquisition of the top three draft picks (i.e., the "top pick", "top pick" and "scout pick") must be determined by lottery. The teams that qualified for the draw were the 14 teams that did not qualify for the playoffs that year.

It is determined by educating the players and the team's record last season.

Lotto draws, just like buying a lottery ticket.

Won by drawing lots with the worst record each year.

The one with the worst record will be drawn by lot.

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.

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.

Summary. In the NBA, "swinging" is when some teams deliberately lose games to get as low as possible in order to have a better draft pick the following summer.

"Swinging" in the NBA is when some teams deliberately lose games to get as low as possible in order to have a better draft pick the following summer.

The team that finished bottom of the regular season has a 25% chance of not losing the top pick. Starting in 2019, the NBA lottery will be reformed, with the probability of the worst team winning the lottery from a high of 25% to 14%, and the bottom three teams will have the same probability of winning the top pick. It will have a certain impact on the swing, because even if you rank first, you may not be able to get the champion lottery.
