The '''1964 NBA draft''' was the 18th annual [[NBA draft|draft]] of the [[National Basketball Association]] (NBA). The draft was held on May 4, 1964, before the [[1964–65 NBA season|1964–65 season]]. In this [[Draft (sports)|draft]], nine NBA teams took turns selecting amateur U.S. [[college basketball]] players. A player who had finished his four-year college eligibility was eligible for selection. If a player left college early, he would not be eligible for selection until his college class graduated. In each round, the teams select in reverse order of their win–loss record in the [[1963–64 NBA season|previous season]]. Before the draft, a team could forfeit its first-round draft pick and then select any player from within a {{convert|50|mi|km|adj=on}} radius of its home arena as their [[NBA territorial pick|territorial pick]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nba/2003715404_lotterytimeline21.html|title=How the NBA draft became a lottery|work=The Seattle Times|publisher=The Seattle Times Company|date=May 21, 2007|access-date=September 10, 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604100111/http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nba/2003715404_lotterytimeline21.html|archive-date=June 4, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Lakers Select Baylor In NBA Draft Meeting|newspaper=The Daily Collegian|publisher=Pennsylvania State University|date=April 23, 1958|url=http://digitalnewspapers.libraries.psu.edu/Default/Skins/BasicArch/Client.asp?Skin=BasicArch&&AppName=2&enter=true&BaseHref=DCG/1958/04/23&EntityId=Ar01102|access-date=September 29, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160410205729/http://digitalnewspapers.libraries.psu.edu/Default/Skins/BasicArch/Client.asp?Skin=BasicArch&&AppName=2&enter=true&BaseHref=DCG%2F1958%2F04%2F23&EntityId=Ar01102|archive-date=April 10, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> The draft consisted of 15 rounds comprising 101 players selected.

Also of note was a player who was officially undrafted in 1964 named [[Connie Hawkins]]. While a successful player overall, Hawkins during his freshman year at the [[University of Iowa]] back in 1961 was involved with a point shaving scandal. Despite never being convicted of point shaving (with the only involvement being him borrowing $200 by [[Jack Molinas]] for school expenses, which he paid back to Jack's brother, Fred Molinas, before the scandal broke out), he was officially kicked out of the team before having a chance to play due to NCAA rules and regulations at the time. Hawkins would later play with the [[Pittsburgh Rens]] of the rivaling [[American Basketball League (1961-63)|American Basketball League]] and the independent [[Harlem Globetrotters]] before officially being undrafted in 1964. He became undrafted again in 1965 before being permanently banned from the NBA altogether in 1966. However, Hawkins would sue the NBA for $6 million in damages to his reputation, saying the league banned him unfairly and that they had no substantial evidence linking him to the point shaving scandal of that time. Eventually, the league settled with Hawkins by paying him a settlement of $1.3 million and assigning him to the [[Phoenix Suns]] in 1969, effectively removing his permanent ban. While he would only play in the NBA for seven seasons afterwards, his number would be retired by the Suns on November 19, 1976, before being in the [[Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame]] in 1992.
