Who's In and Who's Out of the NBA Draft?

Here's the final list of players who can be drafted on July 29

On June 1, the NBA released its official NBA Draft list of early-entry prospects: underclassmen, international players under-22 and college seniors who had chosen to forgo an extra year of eligibility.

In all, 353 players — 296 players from college (135 underclassmen & 161 college seniors) and 57 international players — declared for the draft.

The highest-rated prospects to not declare for the draft from Big Board 4.0 were Arizona’s Bennedict Mathurin (40), Colorado’s Jabari Walker (56) and UCLA’s Jaime Jaquez Jr. (57). So, essentially, anyone with a shot at the first or second round declared for this year’s draft.

The NCAA deadline for underclassmen to return to college was July 7, and a significant number of players decided to withdraw. The top-rated prospects to withdraw Matthew Mayer, Marcus Bagley, Terrence Shannon Jr., Max Abmas and Johnny Juzang.

The NBA’s deadline for an early-entry player to withdraw from the draft was Monday, July 19, and 55 international prospects withdrew their names, headlined by Croatia’s Roko Prkačin, Senegal’s Ibou Dianko Badji and Germany’s Ariel Hukporti. And in somewhat of a surprise, Howard’s Makur Maker also withdrew from the draft, missing the NCAA’s deadline but making the NBA’s July 19 deadline.

I’ve organized this final list by draft projections: lottery picks, projected first rounders, projected second rounders and likely undrafted players. And I’ve updated the list to show who has withdrawn from the draft.
