About the event
The NBA Draft is the league's annual entry mechanism for incoming players, primarily college underclassmen and international prospects, selected in reverse order of the previous season's standings with a lottery weighting the odds toward the worst-performing teams. It is one of the most closely scouted events in professional sports, given how heavily a single high draft pick can reshape a franchise.
