[edit] Round history

How about something detailing the history of the rounds, meaning the change from 7 to 3 to 2 rounds over the years? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.32.162.60 (talk) 15:16, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sociology

Why does the Socioshut up u dicklogical Impact section begin with a definition of sociology? This detracts from the article. --Kek926 (talk) 23:20, 27 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Draft Rights

What happens if a drafted player refuses to sign with the team? Do all the draft rights expire after 3 years?

[edit] 7 Rounds to 2

What about why they switched from 7 rounds to 2 rounds?--68.167.34.42 17:58, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

the change to 2 rounds is notable. Some information about this change should be provided.

[edit] Edit attribution for likely soon-to-be deleted page

In the 2005 NBA draft, the Chicago BULLS had no picks- that is allowed Also, The New York Knicks traded away two future first rounders in the eddy curry trade


I merged the information from the soon-to-be deleted article List of NBA Drafts into this page. Per GFDL, here is the edit attribution data for that page:

         Fixed it.

[edit] Content

should each draft page contain more than a list of the players selected and the location of the draft?

  • should a list of all-star/all-nba team/defensive team/etc. appearances exist
  • should news reporting on the quality of the draft or the players exist (i.e draft bust, 'less heralded' drafts)

[edit] Busts and steals?

Why isn't there a list of busts and steals like in the NHL Entry Draft page? --necronudist 13:45, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Because we want basketball articles to be neutral. --fullcourt 21:49, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lottery?

There's no mention of the lottery or how that system works to decide who picks in what order. I think this is a significant element of the NBA draft that has been left out of this article. Someone more familiar with the workings of the lottery system than I should step up to the plate here. --Heavy (talk) 16:21, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I would tend to agree. There is not even any mention how the draft process works--do all teams go? in what order? How many rounds are there? and so on. Right now, this is an extremely weak article. 166.217.187.175 (talk) 20:55, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
