The NBA has officially released the list of the players who have filed as early entry candidates for 2024 NBA Draft, which is set to take place June 26 and 27. This year, only 195 players filed for early entry which is a lower number than in recent years. Of course, prospects who have applied for early entry have the right to withdraw their names between now and June 16. Furthermore, in order to retain college basketball eligibility, college players who have entered NBA Draft 2024 must withdraw by May 29.

As such, many of the players on this 195-player list will eventually drop after testing the waters to return to school or international competition. Conversely, early entry is only for players who still have remaining eligibility which means there will be other prospects entering the draft that won't be on this list because they aren't considered early entry players.
