A total of 93 players have notified the NBA that they wish to be removed from the list of early entrants eligible for the 2024 NBA draft, the league announced today (via Twitter).
The NCAA’s early entry withdrawal deadline passed on Wednesday night at 10:59 pm CT, meaning that players wishing to retain their college eligibility had to remove their names from the draft pool by that point. The NBA’s own withdrawal deadline is 4:00 pm CT on June 16, so more players will be taking their names out of consideration in the coming weeks.
The players who pull out of the draft between now and that June 16 deadline will primarily be international prospects and domestic players who didn’t compete in college. Players from NCAA programs can still withdraw between now and June 16, but they wouldn’t be eligible to return to college, so they’d likely only take that route if they planned to play professionally in a non-NBA league in 2024/25.
Currently, 108 early entrants remain in the draft pool after 201 initially declared. You can check out our updated early entrant list right here.
While most of the 93 withdrawal decisions confirmed today by the NBA were reported or announced leading up to Wednesday’s deadline, we’ve moved a few new names to the withdrawals section of our early entrants tracker. The following players have removed their names from the draft:
- Roberts Blums, G, VEF Riga (born 2005)
- Malik Bowman, F, Lusitania (born 2004)
- Jaden Bradley, G, Arizona (sophomore)
- Tyon Grant-Foster, G, Grand Canyon (senior)
Tyon Grant-Foster why
Fire your agent. Good luck sniffing the NBA now
Because the NBA told him he was not going to be drafted. He can go back to college. Make money off NIL and then be in the draft Next year has nothing to With an agent, you have to be smart. A lot of you keyboard general manager types need to start putting your resume in if you’re so good
Of course he wasn’t going to get drafted. I didn’t expect that but he could of signed on somewhere on a two way. He did really well in leading Grand Canyon in the NCAA tournament. Do you think he will return or transfer and have a better season to be drafted next year? I bet you money he would of had a better chance this year than next year. I will come back a year from now. I know every NBA player ever, ever. I have made a book on every team ever and what they needed to do to be the number one. I can fix any team now . You should stop assuming you know everything. I know more than you could dream of. Tyon Grant-Foster had a chance this year
He’ll make more in NIL and college is a better development system than the G-League, as we’ve seen with all these Ignite flame outs.
Call you out called you out and you typed some nonsense. Nobody believes you could fix any team now. A meaningless statement.
Plus i really liked him and was rooting for him. Just disappointed by his decision
