As we continue to get closer to the 2024 NBA Draft, early entry candidates continue to remove their names from consideration due to feedback from teams and get a gauge on where they think they could land across the league. There are two primary deadlines for these players to withdraw their names depending on their situation.

In late May, 93 collegiate players withdrew their names from early entry consideration, which was a decent portion of the prospect pool. That was the deadline for college players to withdraw and maintain eligibility. International prospects and other prospects in other leagues have longer to make a decision, with a deadline in mid-June. With that day now passing, that second group of prospects has officially made their decision, with eight non-international players and 23 international players removing their names from consideration.

Although it wasn't a long list of names, several non-international players from colleges and other basketball teams or leagues withdrew their names from consideration for the 2024 NBA Draft.
