{{further|Eligibility for the NBA draft}}

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, 1988).{{cite web|url=http://www.nbpa.com/cba_articles/article-X.php |title=2005 NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement: Article X, Section 1(b)(i) |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 |df=mdy }}
• 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.

{{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/ties_broken_draft_070420.html|title=Ties Broken for NBA Draft 2007 Order of Selection|date=April 20, 2007|publisher=NBA|access-date=May 3, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090529222749/http://www.nba.com/news/ties_broken_draft_070420.html|archive-date=May 29, 2009|url-status=dead}}

The lottery was held on May 22, 2007, in Secaucus, New Jersey. The Portland Trail Blazers, who had the seventh-worst record in the previous season, won the lottery with just a 5.3% chance to win.{{cite web|title=Blazers Win Draft Lottery|url=http://www.nba.com/nba_news/blazerslottery_070522.html|publisher=NBA|date=May 22, 2007|access-date=April 23, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081205093734/http://www.nba.com/nba_news/blazerslottery_070522.html|archive-date=December 5, 2008|url-status=dead}} This was the fourth time that the Blazers had the first overall draft pick and the first time that the Blazers won the draft lottery since it was introduced in 1985.{{cite web|title=Trail Blazers Win NBA Draft Lottery, Followed by Sonics, Hawks|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601079&sid=aw2uMpJmkZBE|work=Bloomberg L.P.|date=May 23, 2007|access-date=August 6, 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090927111547/http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601079|archive-date=September 27, 2009|df=mdy-all}} The Seattle Supersonics, who had the fifth-worst record, and the Atlanta Hawks, who had the fourth-worst record, obtained the second and third pick, respectively.

Three teams who had the worst records—the Memphis Grizzlies, the Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks—obtained the fourth, fifth and sixth pick, respectively. These were the lowest possible picks they could have obtained through the lottery.{{cite web|title=Blazers get No. 1 pick; Celtics, Grizzlies slip down|url=https://www.espn.com/nba/draft2007/news/story?id=2879568|publisher=ESPN|date=May 23, 2007|access-date=August 6, 2009|archive-date=October 31, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111031231421/http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/draft2007/news/story?id=2879568|url-status=live}} The most recent draft in which the three worst teams did not receive the top three picks was in 1993.{{cite news|title=Trail Blazers' lottery win angers West|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/2007-05-22-1064477113_x.htm|work=USA Today|date=May 23, 2007|access-date=August 7, 2009|first=Tom|last=Canavan|archive-date=September 13, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220913174938/https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/2007-05-22-1064477113_x.htm|url-status=live}}
