162 players declare early for NBA draft

A new NCAA rule has flooded the amount of early entrants in this year's draft.

A total of 162 players declared early for the 2016 Draft - an incredible amount given that only 60 will actually be chosen by a NBA team. The new rule allows players to enter the draft without losing college eligibility, as long as they don't hire an agent. College players who haven't compromised their eligibility have until May 25 to return to school.

Of the 162 entrants, 45 players were international prospects. International players have until June 13 to remove their name from the draft list.

LSU's Ben Simmons and Duke's Brandon Ingram highlight the list of early entrants.
