2018 NBA Draft: List of early entrants

With four teams left in the NCAA Tournament, the list of early entrants into the 2018 NBA Draft is growing by the day.

The NCAA Tournament is down to four teams, so as teams get eliminated players with NBA aspirations are making decisions about their future. The rules allow for declaring, not hiring an agent and getting a better idea of how you’re regarded, then going back to school if that’s a better choice than going into the NBA draft.

This list is growing by the day, but here’s who we know has declared their intention to enter the 2018 NBA Draft to this point.

There are some headliners left to declare early as of the morning of March 27, primarily from Duke.

Come back to this list for updates on who’s at least testing the waters for the 2018 NBA Draft , up until the deadline to declare on April 22.
