A total of 108 players have notified the NBA that they wish to be removed from the list of early entrants eligible for the 2023 NBA draft, the league announced (via Twitter).
The NCAA’s early entry withdrawal deadline passed Wednesday night at 10:59 pm CT, so players wishing to retain their college eligibility had to remove their names from the draft pool by that point.
The league’s own withdrawal deadline is 4:00 pm CT on June 12, so more players will be taking their names out of consideration in the coming days. That deadline will feature international prospects as well as domestic players who didn’t compete in college.
You can check out our updated list of all early entrants who have withdrawn, as well as those who plan to remain in the draft, right here.
Several reporters were on top of players withdrawing, but a handful of prospects either slipped through the cracks or we simply missed them. They are as follows:
- Jacksun Hamilton, F, Wisconsin-Parkside (sophomore)
- Ithiel Horton, G, UCF (senior)
- Paul Mulcahy, G, Rutgers (senior)
- Jordan Phillips, G/F, Detroit Mercy (senior)
- Cameron Tyson, G, Seattle (senior)
- Connor Vanover, C, Oral Roberts (senior)
- Damjan Vukcevic, F, Los Angeles Trade Tech (freshman)
I’ma little surprised that no one promised Edey either a committed pick or to sign as an unrated free agent. Yes he’s no bunny rabbit on the court but he’s 7’4 and around 285, at worst he’s a cheap backup that probably get you 8-10 points and 8 rebounds off the bench.
Good for RU getting Mulcahy and Omoruyi back after Cam Spencer entered the transfer portal. Help is on the way in recruiting.
