NBA Draft 2023: Order, Date, Time, and How to Watch the Draft Live

The Denver Nuggets may be the reigning NBA champions, but the excitement in the basketball world continues with the upcoming NBA Draft. As the offseason approaches and free agency looms, fans are eagerly anticipating the event that showcases the next generation of basketball stars.

This year, two Mexican players, Jaime Jáquez Jr. and Gael Bonilla, have registered for the draft. As the NBA Draft draws near, here is all the essential information about this significant event within the National Basketball Association.

The NBA Draft is an annual process where teams select new talent from universities, primarily in the United States, or from other countries, including European, Asian, or Australian leagues. The draft aims to ensure equity between teams and reduce the disparity in talent levels among franchises. The teams that performed poorly in the previous season have a better chance of securing higher draft picks. However, it is not a guarantee, as the 14 teams that did not qualify for the playoffs participate in a lottery to determine the order of selection. The remaining 16 franchises draft according to their regular season order.

The implementation of the lottery process was to prevent teams from deliberately losing games to secure better draft picks, a practice known as “tanking.” In total, there are 60 selections in the draft, allowing each team to choose twice a year, unless they have made trades or face sanctions from the commissioner’s office. To be eligible for the draft, players must be under 23 years of age (for university students) or have not participated in a previous draft (for foreign players).
