{{main article|Eligibility for the NBA draft}}

The basic eligibility rules for the draft are:

• All drafted players must be at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft. In terms of dates, players eligible for the 2010 draft must be born on or before December 31, 1991.{{cite web|url=http://www.nbpa.com/cba_articles/article-X.php |title=Article X, Section 1(b)(i) |work=2005 NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement |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 }}
• Any player who is not an "international player", as defined in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the league and its players union, 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 prior to 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=Article X, Section 1(c) |work=2005 NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement |publisher=National Basketball Players Association |access-date=April 17, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090621100158/http://www.nbpa.com/cba_articles/article-X.php |archive-date=June 21, 2009 |url-status=dead }}

The basic requirement for automatic eligibility for a U.S. player is the completion of his college eligibility.{{cite web|url=http://www.nbpa.com/cba_articles/article-X.php |title=Article X, Section 1(b)(ii) |work=2005 NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement |publisher=National Basketball Players Association |access-date=April 17, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090621100158/http://www.nbpa.com/cba_articles/article-X.php |archive-date=June 21, 2009 |url-status=dead }} Players who meet the CBA definition of "international players" are automatically eligible if their 22nd birthday falls during or before 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=Article X, Section 1(b)(ii)(G)(1) |work=2005 NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement |publisher=National Basketball Players Association |access-date=April 17, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090621100158/http://www.nbpa.com/cba_articles/article-X.php |archive-date=June 21, 2009 |url-status=dead }} U.S. players who were at least one year removed from their high school graduation and have played professionally with a team outside the NBA (either top-level basketball in another country, or minor-league basketball in North America) were also automatically eligible. Former high school player Latavious Williams meets these criteria, having graduated high school in 2009, skipped college basketball and then played professional basketball in NBA D-League.{{cite web|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/nba/2010-06-22-1196621112_x.htm|title=Williams eyes high school-D-League-NBA route|first=Mark|last=Cranston|date=June 25, 2009|work=USA Today|access-date=June 25, 2010|archive-date=September 13, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220913175614/https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/nba/2010-06-22-1196621112_x.htm|url-status=live}}

A player who is not automatically eligible must declare his eligibility for the draft by notifying the NBA offices in writing no later than 60 days before the draft.{{cite web|url=http://www.nbpa.com/cba_articles/article-X.php |title=Article X, Section 1(b)(ii)(F) |work=2005 NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement |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 }} (non-international players){{cite web|url=http://www.nbpa.com/cba_articles/article-X.php |title=Article X, Section 1(b)(ii)(G)(3) |work=2005 NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement |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 }} (international players) For the 2010 draft, this date fell on April 25.

A player who has hired an agent will forfeit his remaining college eligibility, regardless of whether he is drafted. Also, while the CBA allows a player to withdraw from the draft twice, the NCAA mandates that a player who has declared twice loses his college eligibility. This second provision affected Mac Koshwal, Gani Lawal, and Patrick Patterson, all of whom declared for and withdrew from the 2009 draft.{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/2009/news/06/16/early.entrants.withdraw/index.html|title=Early-entry candidates withdraw from 2009 NBA Draft|date=June 16, 2009|work=NBA.com|publisher=Turner Sports Interactive, Inc|access-date=June 25, 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090619013919/http://www.nba.com/2009/news/06/16/early.entrants.withdraw/index.html|archive-date=June 19, 2009}}

This draft was expected to see an unusual influx of underclassmen, even compared with recent years, for reasons explained by ESPN.com columnist Eamonn Brennan in an April 2010 piece:

{{cquote|Because of a potential NBA labor dispute and the threat of an impending lockout in 2011, lots of current college basketball underclassmen have a more drastic decision to face. In addition to the traditional risk of injury, future pros will now have to decide if they want to risk the possibility of there not even being an NBA draft in 2011. Expect lots of these guys to cash in as early as possible, and expect this year's draft to be full of players testing the waters and going all-in a year or two before they should.{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/news/story?id=5060026 |title=Top 10 storylines for offseason |first=Eamonn |last=Brennan |work=ESPN.com |date=2010-04-06 |access-date=2010-04-15| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100409103626/http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=5060026| archive-date= 9 April 2010 | url-status= live}}}}

{{further|NBA draft lottery}}

The first 14 picks in the draft belonged to teams which had missed the playoffs; the order was determined through a lottery. The lottery determined 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. As it is commonplace in the event of identical win–loss records, the NBA performed a random drawing to break the ties on April 16, 2010.{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/2010/news/04/16/draft.order/index.html|title=Ties broken for NBA Draft 2010 order of selection|date=April 16, 2010|work=NBA.com|publisher=Turner Sports Interactive, Inc|access-date=May 5, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100505032443/http://www.nba.com/2010/news/04/16/draft.order/index.html|archive-date=5 May 2010|url-status=dead}}

The lottery was held on May 18, 2010, in Secaucus, New Jersey. The Washington Wizards and Philadelphia 76ers beat the statistical odds by winning the first and second overall picks respectively. The New Jersey Nets won the third overall pick.

Below were the chances for each team to get specific picks in the 2010 draft lottery, rounded to three decimal places:
