Sinoć je u Madison Square Gardenu održan NBA draft. Kako se i očekivalo prvi izbor ovogodišnjeg drafta je John Wall, playmaker Kentuckyja, kojeg je izabrao Washington.
Pored Walla u prvom krugu drafta su izabrana još četiri igrača s Kentuckyja, što je prvi put u istoriji da je kompletna petorka jednog univerziteta izabrana u prvoj rundi. Philadelphia je kao drugi izbor uzela beka Ohio Statea Evana Turnera, dok je kao treći u New Jersey otišao Derrick Favors. Wesley Johnson sa Syracusea je kao četvrti izbor završio u Minnesoti.
Centar Kentuckyja DeMarcus Cousins je kao peti završio u Sacramentu, Ekpe Udoh kao šesti u Golden Staeu, sedmi izbor je Greg Monroe u Detroitu, osmi Al-Farouq Amin u LA Clippersima, deveti Gordon Hayward u Utah Jazzu, dok je deseti bio Paul George u Indiana Pacersima.
Najbolje plasirani igrač iz Evrope je Kevin Seraphin. Igrač Choleta je završio u Chicagu kao 17. izbor prve runde, a on je ujedno i jedini Evropljanin u prvoj rundi. Nemanja Bjelica je kao 35. izbor završio u Washingtonu. Nažalost, naš Adnan Hodžić, iako je bio treći strijelac NCAA lige, nije izabran na draftu, pa će tako i sljedeću sezonu igrati u NCAA ligi u dresu Limbscompa.
