The 2018 NBA Draft was held on June 21, 2018, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New
York. National Basketball Association (NBA) teams took turns selecting amateur
United States college basketball players and other eligible players, including
international players. It was televised nationally by ESPN. State Farm was the
presenting sponsor of the NBA draft for the seventh consecutive year.[2] This draft
was the last to use the original weighted lottery system that gave teams near the
bottom of the NBA draft better odds at the top three picks of the draft while teams
higher up had worse odds in the process; the rule was agreed upon by the NBA on
September 28, 2017, but would not be implemented until the 2019 draft.[3] It was
also considered the final year where undrafted college underclassmen were forced to
begin their professional careers early; on August 8, 2018, the NCAA announced that
players who declared for the NBA draft and were not selected would have the
opportunity to return to their school for at least another year.[4] With the last
year of what was, at the time, the most recent lottery system (with the NBA draft
lottery being held in Chicago instead of in New York), the Phoenix Suns won the
first overall pick on May 15, 2018, with the Sacramento Kings at the second overall
pick and the Atlanta Hawks at third overall pick.[5] The Suns' selection was their
first No. 1 overall selection in franchise history. They used the selection on the
Bahamian center Deandre Ayton from the nearby University of Arizona.

This draft was also notable for its lack of draft-day trades involving NBA
veterans. An average of more than five veterans per year were traded on the day of
the last three drafts, but this draft was the first since 2003 in which no such
trades were announced.[6] At the end of the 2018–19 season the top 5 picks from the
draft were picked as the All-Rookie 1st Team, the first time this had happened
since the 1984 draft.

Combine
Main article: NBA Draft Combine
The invitation-only NBA Draft Combine was held in Chicago from May 16 to 20. The
on-court element of the combine took place on May 18 and 19. A total of 69 players
were invited for the NBA Draft Combine, with two top talents in Deandre Ayton and
Luka Dončić declining invitations for the event this year, with the latter player
being involved with the 2018 EuroLeague Final Four at the time.[59] Both mystery
man Mitchell Robinson and Chandler Hutchison would remove themselves from the event
at the last minute, although two other players would enter the event instead of
them, leaving the proper number of official participants at 69.[60] At the end of
the draft deadline for international players, 12 players that entered the NBA Draft
Combine that year ultimately withdrew from the NBA Draft, with 11 players returning
to college and Brian Bowen planning on playing professionally before trying another
NBA Draft instead.

2018.
The NBA draft lottery took place during the playoffs on May 15, 2018. This year
will be the last time it uses what was originally the updated system for the NBA
draft lottery to upgrade draft odds for teams in the lower regions of the NBA.
Starting in 2019 onward, the newer updated draft lottery will give the bottom 3
teams equal odds for the No. 1 pick, while some of the teams higher up the NBA
draft would get an increased chance for a top-four pick instead of a top-three pick
like in this year, thus hoping to discourage teams from potentially losing games on
purpose for higher draft picks (and potentially better talent in the process).
There were also two tiebreakers involved for lottery odds this season; the first
involved the Dallas Mavericks having one more result favoring them having the No. 1
pick over the Atlanta Hawks after splitting the odds together, while the second
tiebreaker had the Chicago Bulls splitting odds with the Sacramento Kings,
resulting in the Bulls having slightly better odds on their end in the process.
Funnily enough, both of the teams mentioned that lost the tiebreakers would wind up
being in the Top 3 at the end of the NBA draft lottery. Furthermore, the Hawks
would trade their Top 3 selection to Dallas for their selection in the draft
instead.

Eligibility and entrants
Main article: Eligibility for the NBA draft
The draft is conducted under the eligibility rules established in the league's 2017
collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with its player's union. The previous 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 2018 draft must be born
on or before December 31, 1999.
Since the 2016 draft, the following rules, as implemented by the NCAA Division I
council for that division, are:[61]
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 have until 10 days after the end of the NBA Draft Combine to withdraw
from the draft. Since the combine is held in mid-May, the current deadline is about
five weeks after the previous mid-April deadline.
NCAA players may participate in the draft combine, and are allowed to attend one
tryout per year with each NBA team without losing college eligibility.
NCAA players may enter and withdraw from the draft up to two times without loss of
eligibility. Previously, the NCAA treated a second declaration of draft eligibility
as a permanent loss of college eligibility.
The NBA has since expanded the draft combine to include players with remaining
college eligibility (who, like players without college eligibility, can only attend
by invitation).[62]

Early entrants
Players who are not automatically eligible have to declare their eligibility for
the draft by notifying the NBA offices in writing no later than 60 days before the
draft. For the 2018 draft, the date fell on April 22. After that date, "early
entry" players are able to 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
current NCAA rules, players had until May 30 (10 days after the draft combine) to
withdraw from the draft and retain college eligibility.

A player who has hired an agent forfeits his remaining college eligibility
regardless of whether he is drafted.

College underclassmen
A record-high 236 underclassed draft prospects (i.e., players with remaining
college eligibility) had declared by the April 22 deadline, with 181 of these
players being from college.[63] The names listed here mean that they hired an
agent, or had announced that they planned to do so before the night of the draft.
At the end of the deadline, 77 players declared their intentions to enter the draft
with an agent (with one player announcing his entry after the deadline) while 100
players announced their return to college for at least one more season.[64]
Meanwhile, Matur Maker, Brian Bowen, Micah Seaborn and Tavarius Shine did not enter
the draft after letting their deadlines to retain college eligibility expire. These
players instead decided to enter in 2019 via either the NBA G League or another
professional league.[65]

International players
International players that had declared this year and did not previously declare in
another prior year can drop out of the draft about 10 days before the draft begins
on June 11. Initially, there were 55 players who originally expressed interest in
entering the 2018 draft, one of which was a player who came directly out of high
school from Canada. However, by the end of the deadline, 43 of those players
(including the aforementioned Canadian high schooler) would ultimately pull their
names out of the draft, leaving only 11 true international players entering the NBA
Draft this year (the NBA link mentions LiAngelo Ball as an international player in
the loosest sense of the word, but not Billy Preston there).[66] Combining both the
number of players listed previously and both LiAngelo Ball and Billy Preston as
automatically eligible underclassmen under unique situations, the total number of
underclassmen rounds out to 90 overall players.

Invited attendees
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.[69] On June 15, 2018, 19 total players were announced as invites
for the NBA Draft that year (all of whom coming out of college this year), while
potential top 3 pick Luka Dončić was initially not invited to the event due to the
Liga ACB Finals potentially extending through the draft. On June 19, ESPN reported
that Dončić would attend the draft after all, following Real Madrid's championship
victory the previous night, extending the list to 20 players.[70] The following
players (listed alphabetically) were confirmed as invites for the event this year:

The Bahamas Deandre Ayton, Arizona

United States Marvin Bagley III, Duke
United States Mohamed Bamba, Texas
United States Mikal Bridges, Villanova
United States Miles Bridges, Michigan State
United States Wendell Carter Jr., Duke
United States Donte DiVincenzo, Villanova
Slovenia Luka Dončić, Real Madrid (Spain)

Notes
Nationality indicates the player's national team or representative nationality. If
a player has not competed at the international level, then the nationality
indicates the national team which the player is eligible to represent according to
FIBA rules.
Josh Okogie was born in Nigeria, but raised in Atlanta.[18] He also played for the
Under-19 U.S. National Team in 2017.
Mitchell Robinson tried to attend Western Kentucky University earlier the previous
year, but left before attending a single practice there in order to train by
himself until draft night. The last place he played for was at Chalmette High
School as a proper high school senior.
While his official team was for the Brose Baskets in Germany, throughout the
season, Kulboka was mainly loaned to the Orlandina Basket in Italy instead.
