ESPN drew a 2.4 overnight rating for the 2016 NBA Draft after a record-
setting 3.1 in each of the past two years.
ESPN本周播出的选秀会转播收视成绩出炉，其2.4的夜间收视率，跟去年创纪录的3.1
相比有着不小差距
The draft was considered weak and the first two picks, Ben Simmons to the
Philadelphia 76ers and Brandon Ingram to the Los Angeles Lakers, were known
in advance.
It was the lowest rated draft since 2012.
主要的原因在于今年被不少人认定是选秀小年，而且七六人用状元签选Ben Simmons
与湖人用榜眼签选Brandon Ingram这两件事，早就在不少球迷的预期中。也因此，
今年选秀会的收视率是2012年以来最低的
Adrian Wojnarowski's The Vertical ran a competing simulcast with analysis,
news and the announcement of picks before ESPN on an online stream that
received positive reviews.
此外，Yahoo NBA线当家记者Adrian Wojnarowski，透过自己主导的The Vertical网站
同步转播、解析最新消息，甚至抢在ESPN之前就公布各球队的选择，而Woj今年的选秀
转播有获得不少好评。
A Yahoo spokesperson told Awful Announcing Friday the almost-four-hour stream
drew 3.7 million total video views, reached more than 2.8 million unique
viewers across all devices, and averaged 34 minutes of watch time per user.
Yahoo发言人表示︰该网站将近4小时的选秀转播，共吸引了370万次点阅量、至少280
万人用各种3C设备收看，而他们的收看时间也超过30分钟
ESPN's coverage averaged 2.994 million viewers compared to Yahoo's total
number of viewers.
相较之下，ESPN受到Yahoo的冲击，仍然愿意透过此频道收看转播的球迷已经跌破
三百万。
