Major changes to the NBA draft landscape are coming in the new collective
bargaining agreement, mutually agreed on by the NBA and the players'
association this month.
A 91-page jointly written memo sent out by the NBA and National Basketball
Players Association to teams and players Monday and obtained by ESPN
highlights two significant changes to the NBA draft process, the effects of
which will be felt for years.
Beginning in 2024, all invited players will be required to attend and
participate in the NBA draft combine or be ineligible to be drafted until the
"first subsequent draft for which the player attends and fully participates."
上個月NBA與球員工會商談出的新板勞資協議大幅改動了NBA選秀的生態。
這份91頁(...難怪Woj跟Shams都在擠牙膏)於星期一由NBA與NBPA撰寫送出給球隊與球員的
備忘錄ESPN也有取的。其中有兩項顯著的改變了NBA選秀的流程。而這改動接下來幾年將會
非常有感。
2024年開始，所有被邀請的球員都強制性的出席並參加NBA聯合試訓，否則他們在"他們完
整出席並參與試訓的下一次選秀"之前都不能被選。
心得:粗大事 以後每一篇NBA聯合試訓的外電都要認真讀了 Givony Vecenie:賺翻
Participation will include league medical examinations, sharing of medical
history and biomechanical and functional movement testing, as well as
strength and agility testing, shooting drills, performance testing and
anthropometric measurements. Players will also be required to conduct team
interviews, media circuits, player development sessions and other
assessments, as determined by the NBA in consultation with the NBPA. Players
will not be compelled to compete in 5-on-5 scrimmaging, which typically only
a handful of first-round prospects elect to participate in.
This represents a significant shift in favor of NBA teams that have long
lobbied for this rule change. In the past, agents of elite prospects would
regularly strategize to keep medicals of clients away from less-attractive
franchises in hopes of steering their players to preferred destinations,
something that will no longer be possible. This should also likely make the
draft combine more compelling, as a large number of top prospects often
elected to skip fully participating or attending altogether.
Players who are physically unable to participate, because of playing with a
FIBA club still in-season, family tragedy, the birth of a child, or an
injury, as determined by the medical director of the combine, will be
required to complete components at a later date. Failure to do so will result
in being ineligible to be selected on draft night.
There will be limits on sharing medical information among teams based on the
projected draft range of top players. For example, the projected No. 1 pick
will have his medical information shared only with teams picking in the top
10. Players ranked 2-6 will be shared with teams in the top 15, and players
7-10 with teams in the top 25, with the exception of potentially
life-threatening injury or medical conditions that render a player unfit to
perform his duties as a professional basketball player, in accordance with
the Fitness-to-Play Panel process.
參與包含了聯盟的醫療檢驗、分享醫療與人體機能資訊與各項體能測試，也包含了力量與
靈敏度測試、投籃測試、運動表現測試、人體測量等等。球員也被要求參加球隊面試、媒
體圈、球員發展會議與其他等等評估。不過球員不會強制參加5v5練習戰，這過往都只有寥
寥數個首輪會參與這個環節。(去年Jalen Williams就是從這個環節脫穎而出的，但打的很
爛的Roddy或是中途翹掉的Laravia行情也沒受到重大傷害。)
這代表了NBA球隊方在這方面的談判取得了重大優勢。過去，菁英級別新秀的經紀人都會策
略性的不讓沒興趣的球隊看到自己客戶的醫療資訊來讓自家球員加入自己想去的球隊，而
這將不會再發生了。而大量頂尖新秀的強制加入也會讓聯合試訓更吸引目光。
如果因為還在海外打球、家庭喪事、小孩誕生或受傷(需要有試訓醫療專員的證明)而無法
參與的球員，則仍須在日後補上部分環節，否則將不具有被選秀的資格。
不過在球隊中流通的醫療資訊將只會給在預期順位附近的球隊。舉例來說，預測為狀元的
球員，他的醫療資訊只會給有前10順位的球隊。預測為2-6的資訊只會給前15順位。預測為
7-10的則為前25。但如果是具有生命威脅並會讓球員無法完成職業球員職責的傷勢及醫療
狀況則是例外。
The NBA and NBPA will agree upon a method to rank the top-10 prospects before
the NBA draft lottery, using a blend of publicly available rankings, an
appointed panel of experts and a retained-scouting service.
For the first time, certified agents of participating players will be
credentialed to attend the combine to "promote players' access to their
representatives."
The NBA and NBPA also agreed to limit the ability of teams to attend
agent-sponsored pro days outside of the combine setting. Pro days will be
held in a single athletic facility either in California or on the East Coast,
over no more than a two-day period. In the past, NBA teams would spend
significant time traveling from gym to gym around the United States to attend
pro days, a costly and resource-intensive process that was widely despised by
scouts, but did not prevent them from attending en masse.
NBA與球員工會也在抽樂透簽前排行前10潛力的方式上達成共識。他們將會綜合使用數個公
開且為指定專家與球探做出的排名。
不過這也將會是史上第一次已經被認證的球員經紀人將可以參加試訓來增進與自己客戶的
聯繫。
NBA與球員工會也同意要限制球隊參與經紀人舉辦的職業日。職業日通常都會在東岸或是加
州的體育中心舉行並不超過2天。過去，NBA球隊會花很多時間在全美各個體育館旅行來參
加職業日。這相當消費資源且這過程會體現資源差距也因此被球探們所鄙視。但這並不能
讓他們不參加這些職業日。
The second major change that will be instituted in the new CBA involves doing
away with automatic eligibility for high school or collegiate players who
sign professional contracts with entities such as G League Ignite, Overtime
Elite (OTE) or the Australian NBL.
In the past, players who signed with such entities would be automatically
eligible for the subsequent NBA draft, regardless of whether they were
interested in doing so or not, provided they were turning 19 in that calendar
year.
第二項主要改動則是去除了高中或大學畢業就簽下職業合約(包含G-League Ignite、OTE與
NBL等等)的球員自動獲得選秀資格的機制。
過去，簽下這些合約的球員都會在滿19歲時自動獲得下一次選秀的資格，而這完全無視了
他們是否要參加選秀的意願。
心得:這個好像沒什麼差lol 比較像是亡羊補牢的效果與增加彈性
Examples include Jalen Green with Ignite, LaMelo Ball in Australia, the
Thompson twins with OTE, or collegiate players who elected to turn pro
without entering the draft, such as Efe Abogidi, who signed with G League
Ignite after his sophomore season at Washington State. Even international
players, such as Dyson Daniels, became automatically eligible for the
following draft upon signing with Ignite.
G League Ignite had found loopholes to get around this restriction
