The Philippine Basketball Association draft is an annual selection process during which Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) teams can acquire in an agreed-upon order new players from outside the league who are not free agents. The draft began in 1985. Prior to that, teams hired rookies directly. ==Eligibility== All players have to be natural-born Filipinos. Persons who chose Filipino citizenship by the age of maturity are considered as natural-born citizens. For local players the requirements are that they must: * Be 21 years old at the day of the draft (previously 23). If under 21, the player must have completed four years of college. * Be a college graduate or four years removed from his high school graduation, if older than 21 * Play at least seven games of one conference in the PBA Developmental League. Filipino-foreigners have the same requirements as locals except they must: * Play at least seven games in each of the two conferences in the PBA Developmental League, unless they are 27 years old or older. * Have documents from the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Immigration and Deportation proving their Filipino citizenship. Anyone who played for the Philippines men's national basketball team is exempted from the D-League requirement and is automatically eligible for selection. The changes in eligibility rules are in effect starting in the 2015 draft. Imports – non-Filipino citizens, even those born in the Philippines – do not enter the league via the draft. They are directly signed by teams, and only play in some conferences. Naturalized citizens can only play in the league as imports. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Philippine Basketball Association draft」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
