Best, worst and strangest decisions from NBA draft early-entry deadline

The NBA's official underclassman list was released and there are a total of 181 college players who have declared for the June 21 NBA draft.

Last year there were 137 underclassmen who declared, with 73 eventually withdrawing, leaving 64 eligible on draft night.

There were several no-brainer decisions this year: freshmen such as Duke's Marvin Bagley III, Arizona's Deandre Ayton and Texas' Mohamed Bamba will be among the first selections in June and were never going to stay in college beyond one season.

Many players have already decided to sign with an agent, forgoing their remaining college eligibility.
