Best Answer

It's possible.

The rules state that a player is eligible for the NBA Draft when they are 19 years old, maintain amateur status and be one year removed from their high school graduating class. If a player were to, for whatever reason, maintain his amateur status (ie., not play Basketball professionally) until he was 28 and then declare, he could be eligible for the draft.

It's not a likely scenario, but it's possible.

If they don't sign with the team that drafted them, or otherwise violate their amateur status, they can attend college and play baseball for the college team, then go back into the undrafted player pool the following year. They can also sign with the team that drafted them, play for that team and attend college in the off-season, but they are not eligible to play baseball for their college team, but may play another sport in college such as basketball or football.
