you are funny, last time i will reply regarding this.
"You will not hear an announcement from Green, Nix or whoever that they will enter the draft this year in the same way you did not hear an announcement from RJ and Lamelo that they entered last years draft .
The only announcement we heard from these people is they joined ignite or NBL, that in essence is their announcement of entry and intent to join the next draft.
Kai in essence has made his announcement when he joined Ignite"
thats your comment above. then you contradicted yourself
"So Lamelo is classified as an international draft prospect not US (despite being American), cause he played in both Lithuania and Australia in the last 3 years.
Therefor as an international prospect he is required to declare entry to be included in the list before turning 22 year old.
So yes for the nth time those who declare early both US college players and international players are on the list!"
also on the list you provided, lamelo is nowhere to be found.why? because he is in the "also eligible" portion. if
here's the section of the NBA CBA regarding Draft Eligibility:
