message: Why isn't there a list of busts and steals like in the NHL Entry Draft page? --necronudist 13:45, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Busts and steals?

message: There's no mention of the lottery or how that system works to decide who picks in what order. I think this is a significant element of the NBA draft that has been left out of this article. Someone more familiar with the workings of the lottery system than I should step up to the plate here. --Heavy (talk) 16:21, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Why does the Sociological Impact section begin with a definition of sociology? This detracts from the article. --Kek926 (talk) 23:20, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

message: How about something detailing the history of the rounds, meaning the change from 7 to 3 to 2 rounds over the years?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.32.162.60 (talk) 15:16, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Is this section really necessary? If it is, it needs to be more than advertising for writer's websites. I will give it a day to hear opinions. I am inclined to remove it unless someone argues for it in such time. Whorchatasoto (talk) 01:56, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Mock draft

message: External Link section I really don't understand what is the beef all about. How is it a site like Basketball Reference gets a golden pass but every other link that gets put on there is edited out? Call me crazy but I thought the whole meaning behind wikipedia is open source information. But various page natzi's seem to have it in. As a site owner I truly wonder does Basketball Reference pay for this access. My site was edited out months ago but I see another user submit an external link and then bam it gets deleted. Why is Wikipedia discriminating?Thedraftreview (talk) 12:47, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: International Players

message: This article may be well written, and may contain couple thousands of words, but there is no real explanation about what exactly the 'NBA Draft' is. I myself did not understand what this event/system is all about.
People explore Wikipedia in order to gain knowledge, but this article seems to have been written specifically for people who already have the knowledge about this subject. There are lots of important details missing. For instance, How did this event started? What was the purpose behind it? From where do the teams select the players? Do they have any contact before the selection? And what is the meaning of this draft? How does it affect the selected players? The team? And there is need of further information on this 'Lottery'. Who came up with this idea, and why? What is the meaning of 'Teams holding their picks through trades'? Tudmotu (talk) 11:31, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The section on Selection process talks about the history and about eligibility (high school, age, graduation, internationals) but does not describe the selection process. The basic questions are not answered: (1) it mentions 'two stages' but does not say what are the stages, what happens in them, when are the stages, what are the differences among the stages? (2) who and how makes the order of the teams who pick players? (3) which team can pick first? (4) what are the rules of the draft? Topjur01 (talk) 06:37, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
