On April 27, the NBA announced its list of early entrants for June’s 2026 draft. Only that list was much smaller than in years past. The total number announced in April sat at 71 players. That’s 33% lower than the 106 who filed last year — and nearly 80% lower than the all-time high of 353, set just five years ago in 2021. The figure is so low that you have to go back to 2012 to find a year with fewer early entrants.
