NBA Draft season is upon us.

As we’ve seen in recent years, testing the NBA Draft waters has become more commonplace. The previous three drafts have averaged nearly 294 players dipping their toes into the NBA Draft pool, and now the transfer portal / water-testing combo platter adds an extra layer of complexity to the equation.

This year that number declined significantly, with just 201 prospects filing early entrant paperwork. This dip seems to be driven, primarily, by the new NIL and transfer portal landscape in college basketball. Many college players who would’ve previously been clear candidates to test the draft waters opted to focus on exploring their market in the transfer portal (including 20+ players who publicly declared their intent to also test the draft waters, but didn’t follow through with it).

The portal element made early entrants even more difficult to track, but we kept you covered through the April 27th Early Entrant Deadline and will be logging withdrawals through the June 16th Early Entrant Withdrawal Deadline with our live-updating, comprehensive 2024 NBA Draft early entrant declaration tracker.

We supplement this tracker with other pertinent information surround each early entrant’s intentions.

= Testing the waters while maintaining NCAA eligibility

= Forgoing remaining collegiate eligibility and going all-in on the draft process

= International prospect

 = In the NCAA transfer portal while going through the pre-draft process

We also have our ear to the ground on agency representation intel, as indicated below.

 = Signed with agency + publicly announced
