On Tuesday, the NBA released the list of early entry candidates for the 2015 NBA Draft. In all, 48 underclassmen and 43 international players have filed the requisite paperwork (just a letter, really) to have their names entered into the draft pool. All early entry candidates have until 5:00 PM ET on June 15 to withdraw their names from consideration from the 2015 draft (provided that they haven't signed with an agent).
No offense to any of the seniors out there, but most of the guys that you need to pay attention to leading up to draft night are on the early entry list. We've discussed quite a few of the high-profile college and international prospects at length here on Liberty Ballers, and we'll have plenty more deep dives in the next few weeks. But until then, here is the full list of players who have declared for the June 25 draft.
