NBA announces 162 early entrants have declared for 2016 NBA Draft

117 college players have declared as early entrants as have 45 international players. The last time I checked the NBA Draft was only two rounds. Hopefully, these players have somebody giving them good advice as they can still withdraw prior to the draft as long as they have not signed with an agent…..

NEW YORK, April 26, 2016 – The National Basketball Association announced today that 162 players — 117
