Introduction

The 2021 NBA Draft is scheduled to take place on Thursday, July 29th. It will be held at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. This will be the first time since 1971 that the draft is being held in July. The last time the draft was held in July was 1971, when it was held at Madison Square Garden.

The 2021 NBA Draft Process

The NBA draft is an annual event in which the thirty franchises of the National Basketball Association (NBA) select new players for their teams. In a typical year, the draft is held in late June, just after the end of the NBA Finals. 2021, however, is not a typical year. The coronavirus pandemic has led to the postponement of the 2020 NBA season, and as a result, the draft has been pushed back to October.

Eligibility

In order to be eligible for the NBA draft, players must be at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft and must have also graduated from high school. If a player does not complete high school, he may instead declare for the NBA draft one year after his high school class would have graduated.

Players who are not automatically eligible for the NBA draft upon meeting the above criteria may declare for the draft early, but must do so no later than 60 days prior to the draft. These “early entry” players will be identified in bold type on the official list of entrants released by the NBA prior to the draft.

Early Entry

Players who will be at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft but will not have finished their college eligibility may enter the draft early. If they do, they forfeit their remaining collegiate eligibility and may sign with any NBA team that offers them a contract. Players who have been drafted may also be traded. These players are referred to as “early entrants.” The deadline for players to withdraw from the draft and retain their NCAA eligibility is 10 days after the conclusion of the NBA Draft Combine.The 2021 NBA Draft will be held on Thursday, July 29th.

Early entry candidates are evaluated by the NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee to determine their likely draft range. The committee then notifies each player of where they are likely to be drafted, if they are projected to be drafted at all. Players who are not projected to be drafted are eligible to return to school provided they do so within 10 days of the notification date.

The NBA Draft Lottery
