2023 NBA Draft: Which Early Entry Candidates Remain?

Since the start of the pre-draft process, the number of candidates still in the pool with a week out has been cut in over half.

With exactly a week until the 2023 NBA Draft, the pool of candidates is getting smaller, as over 150 prospects have withdrawn from the process. There are now 84 players from colleges that remain early entry candidates, along with eight international. This does not include other programs, such as Overtime Elite or G League Ignite.
