1957 NBA draft

The NBA Draft 1957 was an event of the US basketball league NBA, at which the teams of the league could acquire the rights to available young players. Most of the time, the drafted players come straight from college, but also from leagues outside of North America and earlier also from high school.

The draft took place in St. Louis on April 17, 1957 before the 1957/1958 season . Eight NBA teams took turns choosing their newcomers in 14 rounds from 83 amateur US college basketball players.
