The 2011 NBA Draft was held on June 23, 2011 at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. ^[1] The draft started at 7:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time (2300 UTC), and was broadcast in the United States on ESPN. In this draft, National Basketball Association (NBA) teams took turns selecting amateur U.S. college basketball players and other eligible players, including international players. The Cleveland Cavaliers had the first pick, choosing point guard Kyrie Irving of Duke. Of the 60 players drafted, 7 were freshmen, 7 were sophomores, 14 were juniors, 19 were seniors, 12 were international players without U.S. college basketball experience, and 1 was a D-League player.

Eligibility rules[link]

Kyrie Irving was selected first by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

As of 2010, the basic eligibility rules for the draft are listed below.

• All drafted players must be at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft. In terms of dates, players eligible for the 2011 draft must be born on or before December 31, 1992.^[2]
• Any player who is not an "international player", as defined in the CBA, must be at least one year removed from the graduation of his high school class.^[2] The CBA defines "international players" as players who permanently resided outside the U.S. for three years prior to the draft, did not complete high school in the U.S., and have never enrolled at a U.S. college or university.^[3]

The basic requirement for automatic eligibility for a U.S. player is the completion of his college eligibility.^[4] Players who meet the CBA definition of "international players" are automatically eligible if their 22nd birthday falls during or before the calendar year of the draft (i.e., born on or before December 31, 1989).^[5] U.S. players who were at least one year removed from their high school graduation and have played minor-league basketball with a team outside the NBA are also automatically eligible.

A player who is not automatically eligible must declare his eligibility for the draft by notifying the NBA offices in writing no later than 60 days before the draft.^[6][7] For the 2011 draft, this date fell on April 24. Under NCAA rules, players will only have until May 8 to withdraw from the draft and maintain their college eligibility.^[8] This year, a total of 69 collegiate players and 20 international players declared as early entry candidates.^[9] At the withdrawal deadline, 25 early entry candidates withdrew from the draft, leaving 42 collegiate players and six international players as the early entry candidates for the draft.^[10]

A player who has hired an agent will forfeit his remaining college eligibility, regardless of whether he is drafted. Also, while the CBA allows a player to withdraw from the draft twice, the NCAA mandates that a player who has declared twice loses his college eligibility.

Draft Lottery[link]

The first 14 picks in the draft belong to teams that missed the playoffs; the order will be determined through a lottery. The lottery will determine the three teams that will obtain the first three picks on the draft. The remaining first-round picks and the second-round picks were assigned to teams in reverse order of their win-loss record in the previous season. As it is commonplace in the event of identical win-loss records, the NBA performed a random drawing to break the ties on April 15, 2011.^[11]

The lottery was held on May 17, 2011 in Secaucus, New Jersey. The Cleveland Cavaliers, who obtained the Los Angeles Clippers' first-round draft pick, won the lottery. The Cavaliers won the lottery with a 22.7% chance to win, combining a 19.9% chance from their own pick and 2.8% chance from the Clippers' pick. However, their winning lottery combination came from the Clippers' pick, which had significantly lower chance to win. The Minnesota Timberwolves, who had the worst record and the biggest chance to win the lottery, won the second pick. The Utah Jazz, who obtained the New Jersey Nets' first-round draft pick, won the third pick.^[12][13]

Below were the chances for each team to get specific picks in the 2011 draft lottery, rounded to three decimal places.^[14]

Automatically eligible entrants[link]

This list is intended to include only players who qualify for automatic eligibility despite not meeting the standard criteria—reaching age 22 during the calendar year of the draft for players who qualify as "international" under the CBA, or being four years removed from the graduation of their high school class if they do not qualify as "international".

The signing of a contract with a professional basketball team in a league other than the NBA, combined with rendering services under that contract, may trigger automatic eligibility. The criterion for eligibility differs slightly depending on whether or not the player is "international":

• For "international" players, the contract must be with a non-NBA team within the United States.
• For non-international players, the contract may be with any team outside of the NBA in any country.

Citizenship is not a criterion for determining whether a player is "international" under the CBA. While the criteria have been discussed elsewhere in this article, they will be repeated here to provide further context. For a player to be "international" under the CBA, he must meet all of the following criteria:

• Resident outside the U.S. for at least three years at the time of the draft.
• Did not complete basketball eligibility at a U.S. high school.
• Never enrolled at a U.S. college or university.

These players would also be eligible for selection in the 2011 NBA Draft:

(All players are Americans except as indicated)

• Michael Dunigan – F, BC Kalev/Cramo (Estonia)
• Ater Majok – F/C, Gold Coast Blaze (Australia)
  • Majok is not "international" under the CBA because he played college basketball at Connecticut.
• Jamine Peterson – F, New Mexico Thunderbirds (D-League)
• Jeremy Tyler – PF, Tokyo Apache (Japan)
• Max Zhang – C, Shanghai Sharks (China)
  • Zhang is not "international" under the CBA because he played college basketball at California.
