Eligibility and entrants

• All drafted players must be at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft. In term of dates, players who were eligible for the 2022 NBA draft must have been born on or before December 31, 2003.
• *This draft could have possibly been the first in which high school players of any nationality would have been eligible for selection after their graduation as the two associations sought at first to lower the minimum age back to 18 and end the need to wait one year after their high school class graduated, also called the "one and done" requirement, as discussed in 2019. If approved, the current CBA might have to be amended and the amendment ratified. However, the ineligibility for the draft shortly after high school remained in place, as reported in 2020, unless there were further discussions about its repeal.
• Since the 2016 draft, the following rules are, as implemented by the NCAA Division I council for that division:
• *Declaration for the draft no longer results in automatic loss of college eligibility. As long as a player does not sign a contract with a professional team outside the NBA or sign with an agent, he retains college eligibility as long as he makes a timely withdrawal from the draft.
• *NCAA players now have 10 days after the end of the NBA draft combine to withdraw from the draft. Since the combine is normally held in mid-May, the current deadline is about five weeks after the previous mid-April deadline.
• *NCAA players may participate in the draft combine and are allowed to attend one tryout per year with each NBA team without losing college eligibility.
• *NCAA players may now enter and withdraw from the draft up to two times without loss of eligibility. Previously, the NCAA treated a second declaration of draft eligibility as a permanent loss of college eligibility.
