Editing 2004 NBA draft (section)

===College underclassmen===
After seeing a couple of years where they missed the previous year of 75 underclassmen testing their early entry in [[2001 NBA draft|2001]], this year saw an at the time record-high 92 players declare their initial entry into this year's draft. However, this year also saw an at the time record high 52 underclassmen from college, overseas, or high school withdraw their names from the draft, thus leaving only 40 total underclassmen officially declaring their entry into the NBA draft. The following [[college basketball]] players successfully applied for early draft entrance.<ref name=tdr>{{cite web |title=2004 Underclassmen |url=https://www.thedraftreview.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3051:2004-underclassmen&catid=136&Itemid=384 |website=The Draft Review |date=August 4, 2007 |access-date=December 25, 2022 |archive-date=December 25, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221225032714/https://www.thedraftreview.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3051:2004-underclassmen&catid=136&Itemid=384 |url-status=live }}</ref>
