The 1993 NBA draft took place on June 30, 1993, at The Palace of Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The draft had some talented players at the top, but injuries and personal problems hurt many of them. Chris Webber, Penny Hardaway, Allan Houston, and Jamal Mashburn were All-Stars whose careers were cut short by injuries. Isaiah Rider and Vin Baker showed great potential but were plagued by personal problems. Bobby Hurley's career was derailed by a car wreck in December of his rookie year. The mid-to-late first round (starting with pick 13) was littered with players that failed to make any significant impact, with the exception of three-time NBA champion Sam Cassell. One of the NBA best all-time wing defensive players, three-time champion Bruce Bowen, went undrafted.

Despite having the lowest odds, the Orlando Magic won the first pick in the 1993 NBA draft lottery. It was the second year in a row the Magic won the draft lottery. The Magic drafted Chris Webber with the number one overall pick, but only minutes later, executed a blockbuster trade. The Magic traded Webber to the Golden State Warriors for their first-round pick (#3 overall) Penny Hardaway and three of Golden State's future first-round draft selections.{{cite news|title=Webber, Hardaway trade hats|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/4980135//|first=Mike|last=Nadel|newspaper=The Indianapolis News|page=39|via=Newspapers.com|date=July 1, 1993|access-date=April 18, 2016}}{{Open access}}June 30, 1993: In exchange for Webber, the Magic received the rights to Anfernee Hardaway, a 1996 1st round draft pick (Todd Fuller was later selected), a 1998 1st round draft pick (Vince Carter was later selected) and a 2000 1st round draft pick (Mike Miller was later selected). https://www.basketball-reference.com/friv/trades.cgi?f1=GSW&f2=ORL

Early entrants

=College underclassmen=

For the eleventh year in a row and the fifteenth time in sixteen years, no college underclassman would withdraw their entry into the NBA draft. However, this would the third time in NBA history where a foreign-born player would enter the NBA draft as an underclassman of sorts, as well as be the first time said player didn't represent the Eastern Bloc, but instead represented Africa (although still playing in Europe at the time). It would also be the seventh time in eight years that a player that would leave college in order to play basketball professionally overseas would declare entry into the NBA draft as an underclassman of sorts, with the Australian born Tony Ronaldson leaving Arizona State University to play for the South East Melbourne Magic in his home nation. Including those two players, the total number of underclassmen that entered this year's draft is twenty. Regardless, the following college basketball players successfully applied for early draft entrance.{{cite web |title=1993 Underclassmen |url=https://www.thedraftreview.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3040:1993-underclassmen&catid=136&Itemid=384 |website=The Draft Review | date=August 4, 2007 |access-date=December 15, 2022}}
