Eligibility and entrants
The draft is conducted under the eligibility rules established in the league's new 2011 collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with its players union. The CBA that ended the 2011 lockout instituted no immediate changes to the draft, but called for a committee of owners and players to discuss future changes.
- All drafted players must be at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft. In terms of dates, players, who are eligible for the 2016 draft, must be born on or before December 31, 1997.
- On January 13, 2016, the NCAA Division I council approved a new rule for that division that significantly changed the draft landscape for college players:[1]
- Declaration for the draft no longer results in automatic loss of college eligibility. As long as a player does not sign a contract with a professional team outside the NBA, or sign with an agent, he will retain college eligibility as long as he makes a timely withdrawal from the draft.
- NCAA players now have until 10 days after the end of the NBA Draft Combine to withdraw from the draft. For 2016, the withdrawal date will be May 25, about five weeks after the previous mid-April deadline.
- NCAA players may participate in the draft combine, and will also be allowed to attend one NBA team tryout per year without losing college eligibility.
- NCAA players may now enter and withdraw from the draft multiple times without loss of eligibility. Previously, the NCAA treated a second declaration of draft eligibility as a permanent loss of college eligibility.
The NBA is now expected to expand the draft combine to include players with remaining college eligibility (who, like players without college eligibility, would have to be invited in order to attend).[2]
Early entrants
Player who are not automatically eligible must declare their eligibility for the draft by notifying the NBA offices in writing no later than 60 days before the draft. For the 2016 draft, this date will fall on April 24. After this date "early entry" players may attend NBA pre-draft camps and individual team workouts to show off their skills and obtain feedback regarding their draft positions. Under the CBA a player may withdraw his name from consideration from the draft at any time before the final declaration date, which is 10 days before the draft. Under newly implemented NCAA rules, players have until May 25 (10 days after the draft combine) to withdraw from the draft and retain college eligibility.
A player who has hired an agent will forfeit his remaining college eligibility regardless of whether he is drafted. The CBA allows a player to withdraw from the draft twice; the 2016 NCAA rule change brought it in line with the CBA on this detail.
Notably, in a series of tweets on March 23, Kentucky head coach John Calipari claimed that every member of the 2015–16 team who was eligible to declare early—including the team's two walk-ons—would do so. This covered all of UK's underclass roster except Isaac Humphries and Tai Wynyard, who are ineligible for this draft because they were born in 1998.[3]

Draft ceremony
In the first round of the draft, each team has five or less minutes (if they pick early) to decide which player they would like to select. During the five or less minutes, the team can also propose a trade with another team before making their final selection.[108] The NBA commissioner then will announce the selection and the player, wearing a basketball cap sporting the team's logo, comes up to the stage to be congratulated and presented to the audience.[109][110] In the second round, each team has two or less minutes to make their picks while the deputy commissioner assumes the commissioner's role.[111][112]
The NBA annually invites around 15–20 players to sit in the so-called "green room", a special room set aside at the draft site for the invited players plus their families and agents. When their names are called, the player leaves the room and goes up on stage. Other players who are not invited are allowed to attend the ceremony. They sit in the stands with the fans and walk up on stage when (or if) they are drafted.[113]
