Extensive adjustments to the NBA draft are happening in a new arrangement settlement between the league and the players union this month.
The new rules by the National Basketball Association and the Players Association are written in 91 pages. The 2 largest changes in the draft process will change the game in the upcoming years.
From 2024, players that want to be drafted will need to attend a combine or will not be qualified to be picked.

All players that want to be picked and play in the NBA will go a lot of tests about their physical health and will be taught how to deal with media and all other crucial things around the league.
Also, for the 1st time, authorized agents will be able to be at the combine to help players with their legislatures.
