What is the NBA Draft?
The NBA Draft is an annual event in which the thirty teams that make up the National Basketball Association (NBA) select new players to join their rosters. The draft order is determined by the previous season’s standings, with the team that had the worst record picking first and the team that had the best record picking last.
In recent years, the draft has been held in June, typically at some point between the final game of the NBA Finals and mid-July. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was announced in August 2020 that the 2020 NBA Draft would be held on October 16.
Although most draftees come from college basketball programs, international players are also eligible to be selected. In fact, over 20% of players in the NBA are international.
The draft is just one part of a larger process that determines which players end up on which teams. After the draft, there is a period of free agency during which teams can sign any available player who was not drafted. There is also a summer league in which rookies and young players can showcase their skills in front of coaches and scouts from all 30 teams.
