2024 NBA Draft Early Entry Candidates
A whopping 195 players have filed as early entry candidates for the 2024 NBA Draft, including notable names like Bronny James and Zach Edey.
Key Points:
- 60 total picks in the NBA draft
- Second-round selections sign non-guaranteed contracts
- Players have until June 16 to withdraw from consideration
- College players face an earlier deadline of May 29 to retain eligibility
Seniors are included as “early entry” prospects due to the COVID-era eligibility rule granting an additional season to players enrolled during the pandemic.
Many players use the draft process to test their options before deciding to return to college. Notable All-Americans like Zach Edey, Terrence Shannon Jr., Kyle Filipowski, and Jamal Shead opted to return to school last year and had successful runs in the NCAA Tournament.
The first round of the 2024 NBA Draft is set for June 26 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, with the second round taking place on June 27 at ESPN’s Seaport District Studios in New York.
