Note: The NBA draft was not always as it is today. In the early days clubs could exchange a first round pick for rights to a pick within their territory, so many of the top players were protected from being drafted by other teams. For full list of UK players drafted into the NBA please consult this page.
During the time when the ABA was in existence, some players (such as Dan Issel) chose to sign with an ABA club prior to the NBA draft. There also were 'hardship' and supplemental drafts. More recently, while the number of teams has continued to expand, the draft itself has been reduced to only two rounds.
