The NBA sets two dates every year, and all players who wish to participate in the draft must announce their participation before the first date. After that, the NBA will set up a training camp for these players to show their abilities and skills to the team.
The second date, that is, the final announcement to participate in the draft, is one week before the draft. Any player can make a decision before this, withdraw his name and not participate in the draft of that year.
This date is very important for college players. If they don't officially announce their participation in the draft until they finally announce their participation in the draft, they will lose the opportunity to study in college whether or not an NBA team chooses them in the end.

Draft rules
cis-position
The order in which players are selected is called selection. The sooner a player is selected in the draft, that is, the higher the ranking, the higher his worth.
The first player selected in the draft is usually called the "No.1 scholar" (No.1 scholar), and they are usually the best among all the players participating in the draft. The second player selected is called "No.2" and the third player is called "Flower Exploration". Then it is called the first order in turn.
Just because a player is selected in the first round doesn't mean that he will become a superstar in the future. Michael Jordan was selected as the third overall pick in the first round of 1984 draft, but he is generally regarded as the greatest player in NBA history.
Among the two players selected before Jordan, one is "Dream" Olajuwon and the other is sam bowie. Olajuwon was finally elected to the NBA Hall of Fame, but Sam Bowie ended his career with no achievements due to injury.
This shows that the NBA draft ranking is not necessarily directly related to the future development of players, and the players with lower draft ranking are not necessarily worse than the players with higher draft ranking. ?
age limit
According to the age limit of NBA draft, players must be over 19 years old to qualify for the draft. In this way, many 18-year-old players who have finished high school will have to choose to spend a year in college or hone their skills overseas before they can enter the NBA stage.
The NBA hopes to reduce the situation that high school graduates rashly challenge the NBA before deciding whether to go through the baptism of NCAA events. If this situation continues to expand, the excitement of NBA events will be greatly reduced. Therefore, NBA officials insist that NBA scouts leave the high school campus. Although the new age limit for conscription has caused a lot of opposition, it has also won some support.
