1999 NBA draft
Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox sports draft The 1999 NBA draft was held on June 30, 1999, at the MCI Center (now Capital One Arena) in Washington, D.C. It was the first draft in which four players from the same college were picked in the first round, with Elton Brand (1st selection), Trajan Langdon (11th), Corey Maggette (13th) and William Avery (14th) being selected out of Duke University. It is widely viewed as one of the best draft classes, with a total of nine future NBA All-Stars being chosen, as well as three winners of the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award—Manu Ginóbili, Jason Terry, and Lamar Odom. Six of the top nine picks were NBA All-Stars. Pablo Prigioni, who was eligible for selection but went undrafted, eventually debuted in the 2012–2013 season as the oldest rookie in NBA history at age 35.

Early entrants
College underclassmen
This year would see a step down in the number of overall underclassmen entering the NBA draft. After seeing 40 initial entries the last two years, this year only saw 39 total initial entries at hand. Not only that, but twelve of the players that had declared entry (with six of the actual collegiate players being Harold Arceneaux from Weber State University, Edwin Daniels from UNLV, DeeAndre Hulett from the College of the Sequoias, Lamont Long from the University of New Mexico, Jamaal Magloire from the University of Kentucky, and Tyron Triplett from Tallahassee Community College) would later withdraw their names from this year's draft, which left only 21 total college underclassmen for this year (27 if you include the two high school players and four international players that stayed in this year's draft). The following college basketball players successfully applied for early draft entrance.[2]
