Judging from the scene, the draft organized by Yao Ming is not like a party, but more like a party with a sense of ceremony. Joined more commercial elements, more and more like NBA. It used to be held in the conference room, but now it is held in the theater. It is not a simple imitation of the NBA, but also adds a lot of China elements. For example, the brush calligraphy specially prepared for Wang Shaojie? Champion and flag? It showed the characteristics of China culture and China, and won wide acclaim from the audience.
1* * 61person participates in CBA draft. In the end, 16 people were selected, exceeding last year's 14 people. From the first draft of 20 15, only one person was selected, and now there are 16 people, which has to be said to be a big progress, but we must also see that there have been 22 rounds of abstentions in the CBA draft. Nine teams from Guangsha, Shanxi, Guangzhou, Jilin, Jiangsu, Beijing, Shenzhen, Liaoning and Guangdong failed to pick a player in two rounds. It seems that they came to attend the meeting and abstained.
Nine teams gave up their first-round draft picks, which would be explosive news if they appeared in the NBA. What causes CBA draft to abstain frequently? Bian Xiao believes that there are three main reasons:
First of all, the inherent system of some CBA teams makes them have a complete youth training system. Compared with the draft, they are more confident that the new people trained by their training system will be better.
Secondly, China is different from the United States. When a child is very young, if he has a talent for basketball and wants to engage in this sport, he will be sent to a sports school for professional training, and then he will take the first road and be sent to the youth teams of major teams. This also led to the most talented children being selected by the team in advance. The rest are not without talent, but the basketball environment is much worse than that of those who take the sports school route.
The third is that the overall quality of the players participating in the CBA draft is not high, and some teams in CBA are not interested. In this year's CBA draft, college students replaced NBL players as the main force of the draft, but unlike the seamless connection between NBA and NCAA in the United States, there is a big gap between Cuba and CBA. Many players in CBA are from youth teams or sports schools, and few college players are excellent. Shandong and Xinjiang also choose players, but it is more like going through the motions to give Chairman Yao face. They choose players from their own youth teams.
However, we believe that with the development of the league, the draft will get better and better, and more and more players will enter the CBA through the draft channel.
