The 2013 NBA draft was held on June 27, 2013, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.{{cite web|title=2013 NBA Draft will be held in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center|url=http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/eye-on-basketball/22132413/2013-nba-draft-will-be-held-in-brooklyn-at-the-barclays-center|work=CBS Sports|access-date=April 24, 2013|archive-date=May 14, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130514000104/http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/eye-on-basketball/22132413/2013-nba-draft-will-be-held-in-brooklyn-at-the-barclays-center|url-status=live}} National Basketball Association (NBA) teams took turns selecting amateur U.S. college basketball players and other eligible players, including international players. State Farm was the presenting sponsor.{{cite web|url=https://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2013/06/24/Leagues-and-Governing-Bodies/NBA-draft.aspx|title=Sponsors on the clock for NBA draft activation|website=sportsbusinessdaily.com|date=June 24, 2013|access-date=June 30, 2019|archive-date=October 12, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191012130528/https://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2013/06/24/Leagues-and-Governing-Bodies/NBA-draft.aspx|url-status=live}} The lottery took place on May 21, 2013. This was the first draft for New Orleans under their new Pelicans name after playing as the New Orleans Hornets previously. It would also be the last draft for the Charlotte Bobcats under their old name, as they resumed playing under their old Hornets moniker that they last used in 2002 once the 2013–14 NBA season was over. Anthony Bennett, the first pick in the draft, had a very limited amount of media outlets considering him as a potential #1 pick in the draft.{{cite web |url=https://hoopshabit.com/2015/11/15/nba-draft-is-anthony-bennett-a-bust-depends-on-the-definition/ |title=NBA Draft: Is Anthony Bennett A Bust?

The highlight of the draft was the Milwaukee Bucks’ selection of Giannis Antetokounmpo with the 15th overall pick, eventually becoming the best player of this class with two NBA MVP awards, one Defensive Player of the Year award, and an NBA championship in {{nbafy|2021}}. Another player from this draft, Rudy Gobert, won four Defensive Player of the Year awards. Michael Carter-Williams won the Rookie of the Year award that season but had an otherwise lackluster career. The draft also included the first Canadian number one overall selection (Anthony Bennett), the first Canadian pair of lottery picks (Bennett and Kelly Olynyk), the first Iranian draft choice (Arsalan Kazemi), the first New Zealander first round pick (Steven Adams), and the final first round draft selections announced by then-NBA commissioner David Stern, the last of which included a visit by Hakeem Olajuwon, the first pick Stern ever announced from the 1984 NBA draft. He was replaced by current commissioner Adam Silver beginning with the 2014 NBA draft.

Eligibility and entrants

{{main|Eligibility for the NBA draft}}

The draft is conducted under the eligibility rules established in the league's new 2011 collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with its players union. The CBA that ended the 2011 lockout instituted no immediate changes to the draft, but called for a committee of owners and players to discuss future changes.{{cite news |url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/nba/story/2011-12-07/hunters-memo-to-players-details-nba-cba/51722458/1 |title=Hunter's memo to players details NBA CBA |first=Jeff |last=Zillgit |work=USA Today |date=December 7, 2011 |access-date=December 12, 2011 |archive-date=December 9, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111209061854/http://www.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/nba/story/2011-12-07/hunters-memo-to-players-details-nba-cba/51722458/1 |url-status=live }} {{as of|2012}}, the basic eligibility rules for the draft are listed below.

  • 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 2013 draft must be born on or before December 31, 1994.{{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 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 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 }}

Draft lottery

{{further|NBA draft lottery}}

The first 14 picks in the draft belong to teams that miss the playoffs; the order was determined through a lottery. The lottery determined the three teams that will 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.

Below were the chances for each team to get specific picks in the 2013 draft lottery, rounded to three decimal places.
