Usage Note

Draft is an anglicism used in Spanish sports journalism for the player-selection process in North American leagues (NBA, NFL, etc.). It is always masculine and typically printed in italics in formal writing. Outside sport it occasionally appears in creative or tech contexts for a preliminary text version, though borrador is the standard native equivalent.

Examples

"El equipo eligió al jugador en el draft."

Natural Translation
