Updated: April 26

The NBA announced that 283 players -- 247 players from colleges and 36 international players -- have filed as early entry candidates for NBA Draft 2022.

The early entry deadline was April 24, at 11:59 p.m. ET.

The general rule is that if a player is projected as a first- or second-round pick … his chances of declaring for the draft are very high.

Who’s in and who’s out this year? To come up with these lists, I spoke with a number of NBA executives, scouts, player agents and individuals close to the players who have decisions to make.

This list includes the G League players who are automatically eligible for the draft as well as international players who have declared or might declare for the draft.

The deadline for an early-entry player to withdraw from the NBA Draft is June 13, at 5 p.m. ET. Under NCAA rules, in order to retain college basketball eligibility, college players who have entered NBA Draft 2022 must withdraw by Wednesday, June 1.
