How does the CBA draft work?

Each of the 32 NFL teams gets one selection per round (there are 7 rounds) in the draft to select a player who played in college the previous season. The team that wins the Super Bowl selects last (32nd) in each round. The team that loses the Super Bowl selects next to last (31st) in each round. The other 30 teams are placed in order of worst regular season record to best regular season record with the team with the worst regular season record selecting first.Draft choices may be traded for players or for other draft choices.

The first two rounds of the draft are held on day 1, the next five rounds are held the following day. Selections are made one at a time ... the first team will select a player, then the next team will select a player, and so on. For the first two rounds, teams have ten minutes from the time the team before them selects their player until they must select theirs. For rounds three through seven, teams have five minutes to make their selection.

it was Old Trafford at 65,000 then Millenium Stadium Cardiff 70,000 New wembley is 80,000+ and Old Trafford now the corners have been opened up is nearer 100,000.

Who was the best NBA player of the 2008-09 season?

Well, trying to make a subjective question as objective as possible, one would have to look at the different statistical categories.

I would have to say Chris Paul had the most impressive statistical accomplishments. He led the league both in assists per game and in steals per game. Paul also had very impressive ratings in his offensive efficiency, shooting 50.3% from the field and 86.8% from the free-throw line, while dishing out 3.66 assists per turnover. According to Basketball-reference.com Paul ranked third in PER (Player Efficiency Rating), only after LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. According to the same website, Paul is ranked second in the league in Win Shares (an estimate of how many extra wins each player is worth to his team during a season) with 18.3, only to LeBron James' 20.3, and way before third place Dwyane Wade and his 14.7 Win Shares a season.

Other notable Point Guards in the 2008-09 season, besides Chris Paul, were: Deron Williams, Steve Nash, Chauncey Billups, Rajon Rondo and Jason Kidd.
