NBA Draft season is upon us.
While testing the NBA Draft waters was all the rage post-COVID (an average of 271 early entrants per year from 2021 to 2024), college basketball’s evolving NIL and transfer portal landscape is clearly incentivizing more prospects to simply return to school and capitalize on their collegiate market value, which often far exceeds that of NBA two-way contracts and even sometimes eclipses rookie scale contract figures at the back end of the first round. We saw a notable dip in early entrant volume from 2023 to 2024 and it looks like that number is going to plummet significantly in 2025.
Transfer portal chaos has made early entrants even more difficult to track, but we’ve got you covered through the April 26th Early Entrant Deadline and will be logging withdrawals through the June 15th Early Entrant Withdrawal Deadline with our live-updating, comprehensive 2025 NBA Draft early entrant declaration tracker.
We supplement this tracker with other pertinent information surrounding each early entrant’s intentions.
