The NBA draft is an annual event in which teams from the National Basketball Association (NBA) select players who have either been drafted or are eligible to be drafted. The draft is typically held in late June or early July, and the exact date and time are announced about a month in advance.
Each team has one first-round pick and can have up to two second-round picks. In addition, each team can receive up to three “additional” picks if they traded away certain players or draft rights in previous years.
The draft lottery is used to determine the order of selection for the first 14 picks of the draft; the remaining teams select in reverse order of their regular season records. The lottery was introduced in 1985 to discourage teams from losing games intentionally (known as “tanking”) in order to get a higher draft pick.
Once all 60 selections have been made, undrafted players are free to sign with any team that offers them a contract.
The draft order is determined by a lottery system, and it is held every year in June.
