The draft is an event where all teams of a given competition select, in turn, one or several players from a list of those wishing to join that competition. Usually, the order of the picks is defined by the teams' rankings from the previous season.<br />
<br />
In Pro Basketball Manager, the draft is held for the '''American league''', with '''two rounds''' every year in June. The first picks are decided by a '''lottery''' among the teams with the worst records.<br />
<br />
If you do not want young prospects to automatically sign with American teams, you can disable the drafts when creating a [[New_career|new career]].<br />
<br />
== Drafts page ==<br />
The '''Drafts''' page displays:<br />
* '''Former Drafts''': the results of the previous drafts.<br />
* '''Mock Draft''': a prediction of the future draft picks. These predictions are only available a few months before the draft.<br />
<br />
This will help you spot players you may want to scout if your team is taking part in the draft (see [[Scouting|Scouting]]).<br />
<br />
== Draft day ==<br />
If your team takes part in the draft, you will follow it live. When it is your turn, you can either '''select a player''' from the list (with their estimated level, potential and injury frequency) or '''let your assistants choose''' for you.<br />
<br />
A recap of the draft will be sent to your inbox.<br />
<br />
== Drafted players ==<br />
* First round picks sign a '''rookie contract''', whose salary depends on their pick position.<br />
* Second round picks sign a one-year contract.<br />
<br />
== Trading draft picks ==<br />
Draft picks can be included in [[Recruitment|trades]]. Draft picks are often a leap of faith, but the lower the ranking of the team which owns a pick, the more likely it is to be a high pick. If your offer weakens another team, try to compensate with draft picks!<br />
