66th edition of the draft
The2012 NBA draft was held on June 28, 2012, atPrudential Center inNewark, New Jersey . The draft started at 7:00 pmEastern Daylight Time (2300UTC ), and was broadcast in the United States onESPN . In thisdraft ,National Basketball Association (NBA) teams took turns selecting amateur U.S.college basketball players and other eligible players, including international players. TheNew Orleans Hornets , who had a 13.70 percent probability of obtaining the first selection, won the NBA draft lottery on May 30. The Charlotte Bobcats and the Washington Wizards were second and third, respectively. This draft marked the first time that the first two players selected were from the same school (Anthony Davis andMichael Kidd-Gilchrist were teammates atKentucky ).[ 1] It also set a record of having six players from one school (Kentucky) being selected in the two rounds of the draft and was the first draft to have the first three selections be college freshmen all from the same conference (Southeastern Conference ).Bernard James was the oldest player drafted in an NBA draft, being 27 years old at the time of the draft.[ 2]
The draft contained seven players who combined for 10 championships as well as having Anthony Davis andDamian Lillard both named to theNBA 75th Anniversary Team in 2021.[ 3] Six players have participated in anAll-Star Game .Draymond Green wonNBA championships with theGolden State Warriors in2015 ,2017 ,2018 , and2022 , as well as being named an All-Star in2016 –2018 and2022 . Green was named theDefensive Player of the Year in2017 , while alsoleading the league in steals that season.[ 4] [ 5] Anthony Davis won a championship with theLos Angeles Lakers in2020 and was an All-Star from2014 –2021 , and2024 –2025 , as well as theNBA All Star Game MVP in2017 . He also was theNBA blocks leader in2014 ,2015 , and2018 .[ 6] [ 7] Damian Lillard became the fourth player to be unanimously namedRookie of the Year .[ 8] Lillard was an All-Star in 2014,2015 , 2018–2021, and2023 –2025, the All-Star Game MVP in 2024, as well as the winner of theThree-Point Contest in 2023 and 2024.[ 9] [ 10] [ 11] Khris Middleton won a championship with theMilwaukee Bucks in2021 and was selected as an All-Star in2019 –2020 , and 2022.[ 12]
Of the players drafted, 30 wereforwards , 21 wereguards , and 9 werecenters . The draft marked the first appearance of theBrooklyn Nets and the last draft appearance for the New Orleans Hornets. After the2012–13 season , the franchise was renamed as theNew Orleans Pelicans . New Orleans made their first draft appearance as the Pelicans in2013 . Four of the players selected in this draft never played in an NBA game throughout their professional basketball careers. Two of those players were the sole selection of the draft by their respective teams:İlkan Karaman (Brooklyn's only pick) andMarcus Denmon (San Antonio's only pick).

Notable undrafted players [ edit ] These players were not selected in the 2012 NBA Draft but have played at least one game in the NBA.
The first 14 picks in the draft belong to teams that missed theplayoffs ; the order was determined through a lottery. The lottery was only used to determine the teams that obtained the first three picks in the draft. The remaining first-round picks and the second-round picks were assigned to teams in reverse order of their win–loss record in theprevious season .[ 86] To determine the top three picks, fourteen ping pong balls numbered 1–14 were placed into a lottery machine. Four random balls were selected for each of the three picks and there were a total of 1,001 combinations. The lottery was weighted so that the teams with the worst records had better chances at the first pick. For example, theCharlotte Bobcats had the worst record from the previous season, so they were assigned 250 of the 1,001 combinations, which meant they had a 25% chance of getting the first pick.[ 87]
The lottery was held on May 30, 2012, in theDisney/ABC Times Square Studio in New York City.[ 88] TheNew Orleans Hornets won the rights to thefirst overall selection with a 13.7% chance to win. The Hornets were a league-owned team at the time, leading to continuedconspiracy theories about the lottery process .[ 89] [ 90] [ 91] [ 92] The Bobcats won the second overall pick, despite having the highest odds to win the lottery.[ 93]
Below were the chances for each team to get specific picks in the 2012 draft lottery, rounded to three decimal places.

The draft was conducted under the eligibility rules established in the league's now-expired 2005 collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with its players union. The CBA that ended the2011 lockout instituted no immediate changes to the draft, but called for a committee of owners and players to discuss future changes.[ 95] The basic eligibility rules for the draft are listed below:[ 96]
All drafted players must be at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft. In terms of dates, players eligible for the 2012 draft must be born on or before December 31, 1993. Any player who is not an "international player", as defined in the CBA, must be at least one year removed from the graduation of his high school class. The CBA defines "international players" as players who permanently resided outside the U.S. for three years prior to the draft, did not complete high school in the U.S., and have never enrolled at a U.S. college or university. The basic requirement for automatic eligibility for a U.S. player is the completion of his college eligibility. Players who meet the CBA definition of "international players" are automatically eligible if their 22nd birthday falls during or before the calendar year of the draft (i.e., born on or before December 31, 1990). U.S. players who were at least one year removed from their high school graduation and have played minor-league basketball with a team outside the NBA are also automatically eligible. A player who is not automatically eligible must declare his eligibility for the draft by notifying the NBA offices in writing no later than 60 days before the draft. For the 2012 draft, this date fell on April 29. Under NCAA rules, players will only have until April 10 to withdraw from the draft and maintain their college eligibility.[ 96] [ 97] A player who has hired anagent will forfeit his remaining college eligibility, regardless of whether he is drafted. Also, while the CBA allows a player to withdraw from the draft twice, the NCAA mandates that a player who has declared twice loses his college eligibility.[ 97]
On May 3, 2012, the league announced a list of 67 early entry candidates which consisted of 50 collegiate players and 17 international players.[ 98] At the withdrawal deadline, 11 early entry candidates withdrew from the draft, leaving 49 collegiate players and 7 international players as the early entry candidates for the draft.[ 99]
