More than 230 players apply for Early Entry to NBA Draft

The NBA announced Tuesday night that 233 players — 175 players from colleges and other educational institutions and 58 international players — have filed as early entry candidates for the 2019 NBA Draft presented by State Farm.

That list does not include college seniors.

Only 60 players will get drafted on June 20 at Barclays Center.

The NBA Draft Combine runs May 15-19 in Chicago. More than 50 are expected to be invited this year. Another 40 will be invited to the G League Elite Camp May 12-14.

Players who have applied for early entry have the right to withdraw their names from consideration for the Draft by notifying the NBA of their decision in writing no later than 5 p.m. ET on Monday, June 10. Under NCAA rules, in order to retain college basketball eligibility, underclassmen who have entered the 2019 Draft must withdraw by Wednesday, May 29.

Following is the list of players from colleges and other educational institutions who have applied for early entry into the 2019 NBA Draft
