List of Kentucky Wildcats in the NBA draft information
The Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball team, representing the University of Kentucky, has had 138 players drafted into the National Basketball Association (NBA) since the league began holding drafts in 1947.[1] Kentucky has had 60 players selected in the opening round of the draft.
Each NBA franchise seeks to add new players through an annual draft. The NBA uses a draft lottery to determine the first four picks of the NBA draft; the 14 teams that did not make the playoffs the previous year are eligible to participate. After the first four picks are decided, the rest of the teams pick in reverse order of their win–loss record.[2] To be eligible for the NBA draft, a player in the United States must be at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft and must be at least one year removed from the graduation of his high school class.[3] From 1967 until the ABA–NBA merger in 1976, the American Basketball Association (ABA) held its own draft.[4]
