Eligibility and entrants [ edit ] The draft is conducted under the eligibility rules established in the league's 2017collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with its players' union, with special modifications agreed to by both parties due to disruptions caused by theCOVID-19 pandemic . The previous CBA that ended the2011 lockout instituted no immediate changes to the draft, but it called for a committee of owners and players to discuss further charges.
All drafted players must be at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft. In terms of dates, players who were eligible for the 2023 NBA draft must have been born on or before December 31, 2004. Since the 2016 draft, the following rules are, as implemented by theNCAA Division I council for that division:[ 72] Declaration for the draft no longer results in automatic loss of college eligibility. As long as a player does not sign a contract with a professional team outside the NBA or sign with an agent, he retains college eligibility as long as he makes a timely withdrawal from the draft. NCAA players now have 10 days after the end of theNBA draft combine to withdraw from the draft. Since the combine is normally held in mid-May, the current deadline is about five weeks after the previous mid-April deadline. NCAA players may participate in the draft combine and are allowed to attend one tryout per year with each NBA team without losing college eligibility. NCAA players may now enter and withdraw from the draft up to two times without loss of eligibility. Previously, the NCAA treated a second declaration of draft eligibility as a permanent loss of college eligibility. Players who were not automatically eligible had to declare their eligibility for the draft by notifying the NBA offices in writing no later than at least 60 days before the event. For the 2023 draft, the date fell on April 23. Under the CBA a player may withdraw his name from consideration from the draft at any time before the final declaration deadline, which usually falls 10 days before the draft at 5:00 pmEDT (2100UTC ). Under current NCAA rules, players usually have until 10 days after the draft combine to withdraw from the draft and retain college eligibility. They must have withdrawn on or before May 31, 22 days prior to this draft.[ 70]
A player who has hired an agent retains his remaining college eligibility regardless of whether he is drafted after an evaluation from the NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee. Players who declare for the NBA draft and are not selected have the opportunity to return to their school for at least another year only after terminating all agreements with their agents, who must have been certified.[ 73]
