The NBA Draft is set to take place on Thursday, June 22, in Chicago. Every year, hundreds of hopefuls declare for the draft process as they look to make their NBA dream a reality. However, every year, there are also a handful of players who withdraw from the NBA Draft process. They do so in the hope of either returning to college or heading overseas to continue working towards an NBA spot.
This year, the early withdrawal deadline is June 12, at 5 pm ET. Any player who withdraws before the deadline closes will be removed from the draft process and are free to decide on what their next move will be.
