Can a basketball player be drafted the year before he comes out of college to become a pro?

Yes, this happens frequently with players that appear to be well ahead of their peers in skill level and playing maturity. After 1 year of college play and reaching a certain age limit set by professional leagues, a player may put their name into the list of potential draftees. Many college players that have played at least decently and want to attempt to play at the next level will do this. If a player is very confident they will be drafted, they will likely hire an agent to help them get workouts with different teams. If the college player does hire an agent, he or she immediately forfeits all future years of college ball eligibility. Because of this potential loss of playing years, some players put their name into the draft to "test the waters" and then will decide if they want to stay in the draft, which is usually based on the implied interest from other teams in their skills. In either case, the NBA usually has a drop date when any player will lose their college eligibility whether they have an agent or not. This time is typically in June after the NBA season has ended.
