NBA 选秀 （NBA Draft）
The NBA Draft is an annual North American event in which the National Basketball Association's (NBA) thirty teams (29 in the United States and one in Toronto, Canada) can select players who wish to join the league. NBA选秀是一年一度的NBA盛会，在选秀大会上，30支NBA球队都可以挑选自己需要的新球员，这些球员通常都是来自美国国内的各所大学，但近年来越来越多的国际球员和高中毕业生参加了选秀。
选秀抽签
NBA从1985年开始实行选秀抽签，每年季后赛激战正酣的时候，NBA会召集未能进入季后赛的球队举行抽签仪式，来决定未来头三号新秀权的归属。抽签仪式中，主持人会拿出编号为1-14号的14个乒乓球，放在一个容器中，从14个球中随意抽出4个球，不计数字的先后顺序，一共可以产生1001种可能的组合，而去掉这个11-12-13-14组合，正好还剩下1000种。抽签前，没有获得季后赛资格的各队已经依照常规赛战绩倒序排名，得到与之相应的赢取状元签的组合数(机率)。比如今年有14支球队没有进入季后赛，这14支球队中战绩最差的老鹰队就得到250种组合，即有25%的机会赢得状元签，战绩第二差的黄蜂队得到199种，即19.9%的几率，依此累推，14支球队中战绩最好的森林狼，则只有5种组合，即0.5%的机会赢得状元签。
然后像摇奖一样摇出四个球，诞生一组由4个数字构成的结果，哪个球队结果中包含这一种，就拥有了头号选秀权。然后四个球被放回桶里，重复上述过程两次，第二号和第三号选秀权也就名花有主(注：若摇出被忽略的结果，则无效，球被放回并重复程序)。此后首轮剩余的4-30号选秀签位和第二轮的选秀签位，则按照常规赛的成绩倒序决定，战绩越差，选秀顺位越高。
The NBA Draft Lottery is an annual event held by the National Basketball Association (NBA) to determine the order of the NBA Draft for that year. The teams that did not make the playoffs compete in a weighted lottery, in which teams with least amount of wins have a greater chance at selecting higher in the draft.
The lottery is normally held during the fourth week of May.

To determine the winner, fourteen ping pong balls numbered 1-14 are placed in a standard lottery machine and four balls are randomly selected from the lot. Just as in most traditional lotteries, the order in which the numbers are drawn is not important. That is, 1-2-3-4 is considered to be the same as 4-3-2-1. So although there is a total of 24 orders in which the balls numbered 1-2-3-4 can be picked, they are all treated as the same outcome. In doing this, the permutation of 4 balls from 14 becomes the combination of 4 balls from 14. That is, the total of 24,024 (14! / 10!, or 14x13x12x11) possible permutations is reduced by a factor of 24, to 1,001 combinations. Of these, 1 outcome is disregarded and 1,000 outcomes are distributed among the 14 non-playoff NBA teams. The combination 11-12-13-14 (in any order that those numbers are drawn) is not assigned and it is ignored if drawn; this has never occurred in practice.
In the event a lottery pick is traded to another team, the record of the original team (whose pick it was before the trade) still matters in determining eligibility for the lottery, and assignment of chances.
As of 2005, with 30 NBA teams, 16 qualify for the playoffs and the remaining 14 teams are entered in the draft lottery. These 14 teams are ranked in reverse order of their regular season record and are assigned the following number of chances:
250 combinations, 25% chance of receiving the #1 pick
199 combinations, 19.9% chance
156 combinations, 15.6% chance
119 combinations, 11.9% chance
88 combinations, 8.8% chance
63 combinations, 6.3% chance
43 combinations, 4.3% chance
28 combinations, 2.8% chance
17 combinations, 1.7% chance
11 combinations, 1.1% chance
8 combinations, 0.8% chance
7 combinations, 0.7% chance
6 combinations, 0.6% chance
5 combinations, 0.5% chance
In the event that teams finish with the same record, each tied team receives the average of the total number of combinations for the positions that they occupy. In 2007, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Portland Trail Blazers tied for sixth worst record. The average of the 6th and 7th positions in the lottery was taken, resulting in each team getting 53 combinations (the average of 63 and 43). Should the average number not be an integer, a coin flip is then used to determine which team or teams receive the extra combination(s).
