[外絮] NBA選秀多項規定改動

https://reurl.cc/GeqZ0v 作者:Jonathan Givony 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 -- for example, signing players after the start of the NBA season -- but will no longer need to do so, significantly expanding the pool of potential prospects to include those who might need several years of development and seasoning before being ready to maximize their draft stock. Forcing players to become automatically eligible had wide-ranging ramifications for the likes of Ignite, OTE and the NBL, with several players going undrafted as teenagers -- Daishen Nix (previously committed to UCLA) or Michael Foster with Ignite -- something that proved to be a significant deterrent for those considering professional pathways out of high school. The revision of these sections of the CBA means that U.S.-based players will be able to sign pro contracts with G League Ignite, OTE or international teams and spend several years with those entities until they elect to enter the draft on their own volition, or turn 22 years old during the calendar year of the draft. This will likely have major implications on alternative pathway entities' ability to recruit elite prospects out of high school, international destinations or college, opening a wide range of options for players. 這其中的例子就包含了Ignite的Jalen Green、澳洲的Lamelo Ball、OTE的Thompson雙胞胎 或者是一些沒參加NBA選秀就成為職業球員的如Efe Abogidi(他大二球季棄學華盛頓州大並 加入了Ignite)。即使是國際球員如Dyson Daniels也在與Ignite簽約之後自動獲得了資格 。 G-League Ignite就在這規定中找到了漏洞。舉例來說，他們在NBA球季開始後才簽下某一 些球員來多獲得一些需要多年發展的潛力。而這些球員也因為選秀價值還沒到最高點並未 有參選的意願(之後不用這樣做了)。 強制性的讓一些球員自動獲得選秀資格造成許多青少年球員落選的結果--Daishen Nix(原 本承諾UCLA)與Michael Foster都是這樣的例子。而這也被證明對於一些高中畢業走職業 銜接管道的球員生涯是有害的。 這項重新編輯後的新規定代表了美國球員將可以與G-League Ignite、OTE或是其他國際球 隊簽下複數年合約並在他們想要時參選，或是等到22歲自動符合資格。這也間接代表了這 些銜接性的機構將能提供更多選項給高中畢業、國際甚至是大學球員。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 71.232.216.168 (美國) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1681913616.A.16F.html
