The 2015 NBA draft was held on June 25, 2015, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. It was televised nationally in the U.S. by ESPN. National Basketball Association (NBA) teams took turns selecting amateur U.S. college basketball players and other eligible players, including international players. The draft lottery took place on May 19, 2015.

The Minnesota Timberwolves won the draft lottery to earn the first overall pick in the draft. It marked the first time in Timberwolves history that they would receive the first overall pick through the lottery. The player selected would also be the third consecutive number one pick on the Timberwolves roster, joining Andrew Wiggins (2014) and Anthony Bennett (2013) - who were traded to Minnesota for forward Kevin Love. This draft also gave the Los Angeles Lakers the second overall pick after jumping over the Philadelphia 76ers and the New York Knicks within the draft lottery.

Highlights from the draft include the first Dominican to be the first overall pick (Karl-Anthony Towns), the highest number of Kentucky Wildcats selected in the draft lottery (four with Karl-Anthony Towns, Willie Cauley-Stein, Trey Lyles, and Devin Booker), which tied the North Carolina Tar Heels in 2005 for most players selected in the lottery by one school; the tied record for most Kentucky players selected in the draft (six with Towns, Cauley-Stein, Lyles, Booker, Andrew Harrison, and Dakari Johnson), the second Latvian to have been drafted in the first round (Kristaps Porziņģis), the first former high school player to have skipped college to play in China that was selected in the draft (Emmanuel Mudiay), and the first Indian-born player to have been selected in the NBA (Satnam Singh),{{cite web |last1=Bengali |first1=Shashank |title=Mavericks draft Satnam Singh, the NBA's first Indian-born player |url=http://www.latimes.com/sports/nba/la-nba-drafts-satnam-singh-the-league-s-first-indian-born-player-20150626-story.html |website=Los Angeles Times |access-date=September 8, 2018 |date=June 26, 2015 |archive-date=September 9, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180909073753/http://www.latimes.com/sports/nba/la-nba-drafts-satnam-singh-the-league-s-first-indian-born-player-20150626-story.html |url-status=live }} who was also the first player since 2005 to have been drafted directly from high school (albeit as a postgraduate).

Other noteworthy announcements that came out of the draft included the official announcement of the passing of the last pioneer of the original NBA, Harvey Pollack, around the third pick and the resignation of the league's president of basketball operations Rod Thorn that became official in August after the end of the first round.

Eligibility and entrants

{{main|Eligibility for the NBA draft}}

The draft was 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 web|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=dead}} Since the 2011 CBA, the basic eligibility rules have been:

  • 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 2015 draft must be born on or before December 31, 1996.{{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 |df=mdy }}
  • 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 United States 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 |df=mdy }}

=Early entrants=

Player who are not automatically eligible must declare their 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 |df=mdy }} (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 |df=mdy }} (international players) For the 2015 draft, this date fell on April 26. After this date, "early entry" players may attend NBA pre-draft camps and individual team workouts to show off their skills and obtain feedback regarding their draft positions. Under the CBA, a player may withdraw his name from consideration from the draft at any time before the final declaration date, which is 10 days before the draft.{{cite web|url=http://www.nbpa.com/cba_articles/article-X.php#section8 |title=Article X, Section 8(c) |work= 2005 NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement |publisher=National Basketball Players Association |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081012213218/http://www.nbpa.org/cba_articles/article-X.php |archive-date=October 12, 2008}} Under NCAA rules at that time, players only had until April 16 to withdraw from the draft and maintain their college eligibility.{{cite web |url=http://www.ncaapublications.com/productdownloads/D111.pdf |title=Bylaw 12.2.4.2.1.1 Exception—Basketball—Four-Year College Student-Athlete, Men's Basketball |work=2010–11 NCAA Division I Manual |publisher=National Collegiate Athletic Association |page=72 |access-date=February 2, 2011 |archive-date=October 31, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141031233421/http://www.ncaapublications.com/productdownloads/D111.pdf |url-status=live }} In January 2016, the NCAA changed its draft withdrawal date to 10 days after the end of the annual NBA Draft Combine in May, with the 2016 draft the first to be held under the new rule.{{cite news |url=https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/14564613/date-nba-draft-commitment-pushed-may |title=College players given extra time to mull NBA draft decision |first=Jeff |last=Goodman |work=ESPN.com |date=January 13, 2016 |access-date=January 13, 2016 |archive-date=July 13, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160713103619/http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/14564613/date-nba-draft-commitment-pushed-may |url-status=live }}

A player who has hired an agent will forfeit his remaining college eligibility, regardless of whether he is drafted.{{cite web |url=http://www.ncaapublications.com/productdownloads/D111.pdf |title=Bylaw 12.3.1 Use of Agents |work=2010–11 NCAA Division I Manual |publisher=NCAA |page=73 |access-date=February 2, 2011 |archive-date=October 31, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141031233421/http://www.ncaapublications.com/productdownloads/D111.pdf |url-status=live }} Also, while the CBA allows a player to withdraw from the draft twice, the NCAA then mandated that a player who declared twice lost his college eligibility. The aforementioned 2016 NCAA rule change also allowed players to declare for more than one draft without losing college eligibility.

This year, a total of 48 collegiate players and 43 international players declared as early entry candidates before the April 26 deadline.{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/2015/news/04/28/early-entry-candidates-for-2015-draft/index.html|title=NBA announces early entry candidates for 2015 Draft|date=April 28, 2015|work=NBA.com|access-date=April 28, 2015|archive-date=May 1, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150501121930/http://www.nba.com/2015/news/04/28/early-entry-candidates-for-2015-draft/index.html|url-status=live}} On June 15, the withdrawal deadline, 34 early entry candidates withdrew from the draft and one early entry candidate is added, leaving 47 collegiate players and 11 international players as the early entry candidates for the draft.{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/2015/news/06/16/thirty-four-early-entry-candidates-withdraw-from-2015-nba-draft/index.html|title=34 early entry candidates withdraw from 2015 Draft|date=June 16, 2015|work=NBA.com|access-date=June 22, 2015|archive-date=June 19, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150619160246/http://www.nba.com/2015/news/06/16/thirty-four-early-entry-candidates-withdraw-from-2015-nba-draft/index.html|url-status=live}}{{cite news|url=http://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/NBA-Draft-Early-Entries-6331008.php|title=NBA Draft-Early Entries|date=June 16, 2015|newspaper=SFGate.com|access-date=June 22, 2015|archive-date=June 22, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150622205145/http://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/NBA-Draft-Early-Entries-6331008.php|url-status=live}}

Draft lottery

{{main|NBA draft lottery}}

The NBA conducted an annual draft lottery to determine the draft order for the teams that did not make the playoffs in the preceding season. Every NBA team that missed the NBA playoffs had a chance at winning a top three pick, but teams with worse records had a better chance at winning a top three pick. After the lottery selected the teams that receive a top three pick, the other teams received an NBA draft pick based on their winning percentage from the prior season. The table below shows each non-playoff team's chances (based on their record at the end of the NBA season) of receiving picks 1–14.

The 2015 NBA lottery was held on May 19.{{cite web|title=National Basketball Association Important Dates |website=NBA.com |url=http://www.nba.com/news/important-dates/ |access-date=5 April 2015 |date=15 January 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131217072729/http://www.nba.com/news/important-dates/ |archive-date=December 17, 2013 }} The Minnesota Timberwolves, who had the worst record in the NBA and the highest chance to win the lottery at 25%, won the lottery. The Los Angeles Lakers moved from the fourth spot to second, while the Philadelphia 76ers got the third pick.{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/2015/news/05/19/nba-draft-lottery-wire.ap/index.html|title=Timberwolves win Draft lottery, Lakers move to No. 2|date=May 19, 2015|work=NBA.com|access-date=May 19, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150523004103/http://www.nba.com/2015/news/05/19/nba-draft-lottery-wire.ap/index.html|archive-date=May 23, 2015|url-status=dead}} The only team that moved down from their original draft position altogether was the New York Knicks, who moved from the projected second pick to the fourth pick.

In the first round of the NBA draft, each team has up to five minutes to decide which player they would like to select.

The NBA annually invites around 15–20 players to sit in the "green room", a special room set aside at the draft site for the invited players plus their families and agents. When their names are called, the player leaves the room and goes up on stage. Other players who are not invited are allowed to attend the ceremony, sit in the stands with the fans and walk up on stage when (or if) they are drafted.{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/nba/draft2011/news/story?id=6675909|title=NBA issues 'green room' invitations|first=Chad|last=Ford|work=ESPN.com|date=June 18, 2011|access-date=June 23, 2015|archive-date=June 26, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150626123405/http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/draft2011/news/story?id=6675909|url-status=live}} The 19 players who accepted invitations to attend the draft were Devin Booker, Willie Cauley-Stein, Sam Dekker, Jerian Grant, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Stanley Johnson, Frank Kaminsky, Kevon Looney, Trey Lyles, Emmanuel Mudiay, Jahlil Okafor, Kelly Oubre Jr., Cameron Payne, Bobby Portis, Kristaps Porziņģis, D'Angelo Russell, Karl-Anthony Towns, Myles Turner, and Justise Winslow.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.si.com/nba/2015/06/22/nba-draft-green-room-2015-invitees-jahlil-okafor-karl-anthony-towns-frank-kaminsky|title=NBA announces green room invitees for 2015 NBA draft|first=Ben|last=Golliver|magazine=Sports Illustrated|date=June 22, 2015|access-date=June 23, 2015|archive-date=June 23, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150623124951/http://www.si.com/nba/2015/06/22/nba-draft-green-room-2015-invitees-jahlil-okafor-karl-anthony-towns-frank-kaminsky|url-status=live}} International prospect Mario Hezonja did not attend because he was still involved with his then-team FC Barcelona at the time.{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/DraftExpress/status/614224218113314817|title=Jonathan Givony on Twitter|access-date=July 25, 2015|archive-date=October 25, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151025123425/https://twitter.com/DraftExpress/status/614224218113314817|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2503404-2015-nba-draft-green-room-invites-full-list-of-players-revealed|title=2015 NBA Draft Green-Room Invites: Full List of Players Revealed|first=Matt|last=Fitzgerald|website=The Bleacher Report|date=June 22, 2015|access-date=June 23, 2015|archive-date=June 23, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150623135754/http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2503404-2015-nba-draft-green-room-invites-full-list-of-players-revealed|url-status=live}} Three other players, R.J.
