## Draft de expansión

Como siempre que llegan franquicias nuevas a la NBA, se celebra un draft de expansión en el cual el resto de franquicias desprotejen a algunos de sus jugadores que pueden ser escogidos por el nuevo equipo. Entre los jugadores destacados eligieron a Walt Bellamy, futuro miembro del Basketball Hall of Fame, ya a punto de retirarse, o dos all-star como John Block o Bob Kauffman.
