The deadline for college players to officially enter their name into the 2015 NBA Draft pool struck at midnight on Sunday.
Now, via an official release from the NBA, we know all freshmen, sophomores and juniors who sent in paperwork to be declared eligible for draft selection this June. There are 91 players in all who are considered early entrants. Forty-eight of those players are from United States colleges, and 43 are from international lands.
Not all of these players will remain the in the draft, necessarily. The NBA allows players to withdraw their names from consideration by June 15. The catch comes on the NCAA's side of things. For any player that has gone through the process of officially signing an agent, there is no going back. Only players that opt to stay independent while giving the draft process a true trial run can turn heel and head back to campus in the next seven weeks. (This method has become increasingly rare, however.)
The draft will be held on Thursday, June 25, in Brooklyn.
