The NBA Draft is fast approaching taking place on June 28 in the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. The NBA released the early entrants list on Thursday highlighted by the Kentucky Wildcats starting five.
UK’s Anthony Davis is the consensus number 1 pick but who will follow him is anybody’s guess. Most consider this to be a very deep draft with teams angling for multiple picks.
The final draft order will be decided May 30 after the NBA Draft lottery takes place in New York. From there teams will start jockeying for position after player workouts are scheduled.
Here is the official list from NBA.COM
