2014 NBA Draft
The 2014 NBA Draft took place on June 26, 2014 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn , New York . In two draft rounds, the 30 NBA teams were able to secure the rights to 60 young players from the NCAA college league and abroad.
In the draft lottery on May 20, 2014, the final selection order was determined. The 14 teams that did not qualify for the playoffs of the 2013/14 season took part in this weighted lottery . The Cleveland Cavaliers won the lottery again, with a 1.4% chance of the first pick , ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers . Candidates for the first pick were Canadian forward Andrew Wiggins , Cameroonian center Joel Embiid and Jabari Parker .
All players who signed up for the draft had to be born before December 31, 1995 regardless of their school-leaving qualification or nationality. If they were not an "international player," it must have been at least a year between their registration date and their final high school year.
In the NBA draft, Andrew Wiggins was selected first by the Cavaliers, ahead of Jabari Parker and Joel Embiid. Wiggins was transferred to the Minnesota Timberwolves just under two months after the draft .
The German players Niels Giffey , Philipp Neumann , Johannes Voigtmann , Maximilian Kleber and Kevin Bright , however, were not selected.
