The draft usually takes place at the end of June, during the NBA off-season. Since 1989, the draft has consisted of two rounds; this is much shorter than the entry drafts of the other major professional sports leagues, all of which run at least seven rounds. Sixty players are selected in each draft. No player may sign with the NBA until he has been eligible for at least one draft.
The draft itself will consist of two rounds with two separate formats (each with 30 picks). Silver will announce the picks in the first, followed by deputy commissioner Mark Tatum announcing the picks in the second.
