These players are usually selected from among the best basketball players in the world. The process of selecting draft picks has changed throughout NBA history, but today it generally involves a lottery system whereby the teams that did not make the playoffs in the previous NBA season are given some combination of picks in the first round of the draft, while teams that made the playoffs receive later picks.
