How to get into the NBA if you Live in the UK?
Well, your man Joel Freeland got drafted by Portland last year, but he still needs a little seasoning, but we could see him play this season. One way is to follow his path and do well in your local league and hope to get the attention of an NBA scout. If you're in High School, try getting into a foreign exchange program to the US and join an American high school team. From there, you can possibly get a college scholarship to play for an NCAA team, and if you're great, join the NBA draft. The NBA no longer allows you to jump from high school to the draft. If you're already out of high school, one good and cheap way is to find someone to live with in the US and try out for a junior college (JUCO) team. If you are as good as you think, it should be easy to get on the team. From there, you can transfer to a 4-year college, then to the draft. One last possibility is to join an American minor league team such as the CBA, NBDL, etc. The competition is high, but quite a number of undrafted NBA players have taken this route to the league. Of all the ways, I would recommend the college route because if you don't make it in the NBA, hey at least you got an education! Good luck!

You would need to send videos of your games to a college to get them looking at you. And yeah you need to take the SAT, but don't worry it's not that hard. And you can always take the ACT. The NCAA Div 1 requirement is very low. Those who don't pass are pretty slow. I wouldn't go the University of Toronto, it's not a basketball school. I'd go to like Wisconsin, Michigan, Michigan State, Oregon, Washington State. Those schools may not be UNC, but at least they get national coverage and get on ESPN.
How do I enter the NBA Draft?
All American players are automatically eligible to enter the draft at the end of their college eligibility. Through the 2005 NBA Draft, American players were also allowed to declare eligibility for the draft at any time betweeen high school graduation and the completion of their college eligibility. International players can declare eligibility in the calendar year of their 18th birthday. The collective bargaining agreement betwen the league and its players union, which took effect with the 05-05 NBA season, established new eligibility rules to end the former practic of high schoolers jumping to the NBA.

The agreement contains two draft declaration dates. All players who wish to be drafted, and are not automatically eligible, must declare their eligibility no later than 60 days before the draft. After this date, prospective draftees may attend NBA pre-draft camps and individual team workouts to show off their skills and obtain feedback regarding their draft positions. A player may withdraw his name from the draft at any time before the final declaration date, which is 10 days before the draft.
