{{further|Eligibility for the NBA draft}}

The new collective bargaining agreement between the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) took into effect starting in this year's draft. Under the new agreement, high school players were not eligible for selection. The new rules stated that high school players must wait one year after their high school class graduates and must be at least 19 years old to be eligible for the draft.{{cite web|title=Last high school class off to slow NBA start|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/nba/2006-04-12-prep-class_x.htm|publisher=Gannett Co.

The basic requirements for draft eligibility are:

• All drafted players must be at least 19 years of age during the calendar year of the draft (i.e. born on or before December 31, 1987, for the 2006 draft).
• Any player who is not an "international player", as defined in the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), must be at least one year removed from the graduation of his high school class.

The CBA defines "international players" as players who permanently resided outside the U.S. for three years before the draft, did not complete high school in the U.S., and have never enrolled at a U.S. college or university.{{cite web|url=http://www.nbpa.com/cba_articles/article-X.php |title=2005 NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement: Article X, Section 1(c) |work=NBPA.com |publisher=National Basketball Players Association |access-date=April 17, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080227065646/http://www.nbpa.com/cba_articles/article-X.php |archive-date=February 27, 2008 |url-status=dead }}

This year would mark the very first year where the NBA would not allow for high school prospects to enter the NBA draft after previously allowing it since 1995.

This year would mark a step down from the number of underclassmen expressing their interest in joining the NBA draft. After previously having over 100 players expressing their interest last year, this year only saw 92 total underclassmen from college or overseas play express interest in entering the NBA draft. However 46 of these players would later withdraw their entries into the draft, leaving only 46 total underclassmen from college or overseas areas officially entering the draft this year. The following college basketball players successfully applied for early draft entrance.{{cite web |title=2006 Underclassmen |url=https://www.thedraftreview.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3053:2006-underclassmen&catid=136&Itemid=384 |website=The Draft Review | date=August 4, 2007 |access-date=January 24, 2023}}

{{further|NBA draft lottery}}

The first 14 picks in the draft belonged to teams that had missed the playoffs; the order was determined through a lottery. The lottery would determine the three teams that would obtain the first three picks on the draft. The remaining first-round picks and the second-round picks were assigned to teams in reverse order of their win–loss record in the previous season. On April 20, 2007, the NBA performed a tie-breaker to determine the order of the picks for teams with identical win–loss record.{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/news/lotteryties_060421.html|title=Ties Broken for NBA Draft 2006 Order of Selection|date=April 21, 2006|publisher=Turner Sports Interactive, Inc|work=NBA.com|access-date=May 6, 2009|archive-date=January 3, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090103114230/http://www.nba.com/news/lotteryties_060421.html|url-status=live}}

The 2006 Draft Lottery was held on May 23, 2006, in Secaucus, New Jersey. The Toronto Raptors, who had the fifth-worst record, won the lottery with just 8.8% chance to win. The Chicago Bulls, who acquired the New York Knicks' first-round draft pick from a previous trade, landed the second overall pick. The Portland Trail Blazers who had the best chance to land the top pick fell out of the top three and had to settle with 4th pick. Portland's 4th pick was the lowest possible pick that Portland could obtained through the lottery.{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/features/lottery2006room_060523.html|title=Ping-Pong Balls, Raptors Rise|date=May 23, 2006|publisher=Turner Sports Interactive, Inc|work=NBA.com|access-date=May 6, 2009| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090502030437/http://www.nba.com/features/lottery2006room_060523.html| archive-date= 2 May 2009 | url-status= live}}
