Explaining The ABA Draft Rules

The ABA has a very interesting way of drafting and some people do not understand it.  Here is a helpful guide on how it works:

  • Any player who has no days on the active roster during the previous season becomes part of the draft.
  • A player with less than 5 years of experience who is injured for the entire season still gets put in.
  • Any rookie.
  • If a player is suspended for the year, they do not get put in.
  • The draft takes place on April 7 and is broadcasted on DSPN.
  • A player with more than 5 years of experience who is injured for the entire season is not put in.
  • The total of draft slots changes every year.
