2025 NBA Draft: Early Entry Candidates Officially Announced

As the 2025 NBA Draft inches closer, the early entry list has officially been released by the league. This list included 106 players, which was a smaller count than in years past.

These prospects that have applied for early entry have the right to withdraw their names from consideration for the 2025 NBA Draft by notifying the NBA of their decision in writing no later than 5 p.m. ET on Sunday, June 15. Under NCAA rules, in order to retain college basketball eligibility, college players who have entered the draft must withdraw by Wednesday, May 28.

As such, this list will shorten in the coming weeks. It's also worth noting that players who are auto-eligible due to years of college experience are not on this list, as it only includes early entry players.
