The 2017 NBA draft is drawing closer, and with the majority of college teams done for the season, players have begun declaring for the draft.
NCAA rules allow underclassmen to “test the waters” and go through the pre-draft process while retaining next year’s eligibility, provided they do not hire an agent. The early entry deadline is April 23, and college players have until 10 days after the draft combine (May 9–14) to withdraw from the pool.
Below is a list of notable underclassmen who have declared for the draft, some with the intent to remain in the pool and others on the fence.
