Players that have declared for the 2018 NBA draft

Hundreds of college players and multiple overseas prospects have already declared for the NBA draft. Aspiring athletes see this as an opportunity to showcase their skills and potentially secure a spot in the NBA. While the draft only has two rounds with 30 picks each, only 60 of these prospects will be selected. However, the draft process offers more than just the chance to be drafted. It also provides opportunities to interact with NBA teams, participate in workouts and combines, and even compete in the Summer league against NBA-level talent.

Among the notable prospects declaring for the NBA draft is Villanova’s Donte Divincenzo, whose stock has skyrocketed following his impressive performances. As the draft approaches in June, more players are expected to announce their intentions. ESPN’s top 100 list features some of the most promising prospects.
