Youngest players

Andrew Bynum is the youngest player to ever play in the NBA.

NBA players usually come from U.S. college basketball. In the past, a college player had to complete his four-year college eligibility before he could enter the league through the NBA Draft or as a free agent. In the 1970s, the league began to allow college underclassmen and high school players to enter the league. However, the trend of drafting high school players only began in the mid 1990s. This has led to more younger players entering the league directly after high school graduation. In 2005, the league and the players' union agreed on a new collective bargaining agreement that includes a minimum age limit which requires that players who wish to enter the league must be at least 19 years old on December 31 of the year of the draft, and at least one year removed from high school. International players who did not play college basketball also have to be at least 19 years old on the same date to be able to play in the NBA.^[39] Despite a trend toward drafting younger players, the NBA has a higher average age than it had in the 1980s.^[40] However, since the NBA introduced the minimum age limit in 2005, the league's average age has decreased in the past few seasons.^[41]

The youngest player to ever play in the NBA was Andrew Bynum who played his first game at the age of 18 years and 6 days old.^[42] Bynum, who was also the youngest player ever selected in the NBA Draft, went into the NBA straight out of high school.^[43] Jermaine O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, both drafted in 1996, were the second and third youngest players. Serbian Darko Miličić was the youngest player ever to play in an NBA Finals game.^[44] He played for the Detroit Pistons in Game 3 of the 2004 Finals at the age of 18 years and 356 days old. The Pistons won the 2004 Finals and Miličić became the youngest player ever to win the NBA championship, being only five days away from his 19th birthday at the time. There are currently 26 players who played in the NBA before they turned 19. 19 of them came to the league straight out of high school, while 6 of them are international players who never played basketball in the U.S. high schools or colleges before they entered the NBA, and one more player ended up playing only a year of college before entering the NBA.

The youngest active player in the NBA is Dragan Bender, the 4th pick in the 2016 NBA draft. He wound up joining his teammate, Devin Booker as the 26th player on this list as well due to him playing on October 26, 2016 against the Sacramento Kings, while his 19th birthday is on November 17, 2016.
