The draft was held on March 31, 1959, before the 1959–60 season. In this draft, eight NBA teams took turns selecting amateur U.S. college basketball players. In each round, the teams select in reverse order of their win–loss record in the previous season. The draft consisted of 14 rounds comprising 85 players selected.[1][2] Draft selections and draftee career notesBob Boozer from Kansas State University was selected first overall by the Cincinnati Royals. Wilt Chamberlain and Bob Ferry were selected before the draft as Philadelphia Warriors' and St. Louis Hawks' territorial picks respectively. Although Chamberlain played at the University of Kansas, outside the territory of any NBA team, he was selected as the Warriors' territorial pick because the Warriors argued that Chamberlain had grown up in Philadelphia and played high school basketball at Overbrook High School in Philadelphia. The NBA agreed with the argument, hence making him the first territorial pick based solely on his pre-college roots.[3] Chamberlain went on to win the Rookie of the Year Award and the Most Valuable Player Award in his first season.[4][5] Two players from this draft, Wilt Chamberlain and Bailey Howell, have been inducted to the Basketball Hall of Fame.[6]KeyPos. | G | F | C | Position | Guard | Forward | Center | {{NBA Draft legend|1=y|3=y|5=y}}DraftRound | Pick | Player | Position | Nationality | Team | College | {{hs|0}}T | {{hs|00}}– | {{sortname|Wilt|Chamberlain}}^ | C | United States}} | Philadelphia Warriors | 1}} | {{hs|0}}T | {{hs|00}}– | Bob|Ferry}} | F/C | United States}} | St. Louis Hawks | Saint Louis | 1 | {{hs|0}}1 | {{sortname|Bob|Boozer}}^ | F | United States}} | Cincinnati Royals | Kansas State | 1 | {{hs|0}}2 | {{sortname|Bailey|Howell}}^ | F | United States}} | Detroit Pistons | Mississippi State | 1 | {{hs|0}}3 | Tom|Hawkins|Tom Hawkins (basketball)}} | F | United States}} | Minneapolis Lakers | Notre Dame | 1 | {{hs|0}}4 | {{sortname|Dick|Barnett}}+ | G/F | United States}} | Syracuse Nationals | Tennessee State | 1 | {{hs|0}}5 | {{sortname|Johnny|Green|Johnny Green (basketball)}}+ | F/C | United States}} | New York Knicks | Michigan State | 1 | {{hs|0}}6 | John|Richter}} | F | United States}} | Boston Celtics | NC State | 2 | {{hs|0}}7 | {{sortname|Tom|Robitaille}}# | F/C | United States}} | (from Cincinnati){{ref label>Note1|a|a}} | Rice | 2 | {{hs|0}}8 | {{sortname|Don|Goldstein}}# | F | United States}} | Detroit Pistons | Louisville | 2 | {{hs|0}}9 | Joe|Ruklick}} | F/C | United States}} | Philadelphia Warriors | Northwestern | 2 | 10 | {{sortname|Rudy|LaRusso}}+ | F/C | United States}} | Minneapolis Lakers | Dartmouth | 2 | 11 | Bumper|Tormohlen}} | F/C | United States}} | Syracuse Nationals | Tennessee | 2 | 12 | {{sortname|Al|Seiden}}# | G | United States}} | (from New York){{ref label>Note2|b|b}} | St. John's | 2 | 13 | Cal|Ramsey}} | F | United States}} | St. Louis Hawks | NYU | 2 | 14 | Gene|Guarilia}} | F | United States}} | Boston Celtics | George Washington | 3 | 15 | Mike|Mendenhall}} | G | United States}} | Cincinnati Royals | Cincinnati | 3 | 16 | Gary|Alcorn}} | C | United States}} | Detroit Pistons | Fresno State | 3 | 17 | Jim|Hockaday}} | F | United States}} | Philadelphia Warriors | Memphis | 3 | 18 | Bobby|Smith|Bobby Smith (basketball)}} | G | United States}} | Minneapolis Lakers | West Virginia | 3 | 19 | Jon|Cincebox}} | F | United States}} | Syracuse Nationals | Syracuse | 3 | 20 | Bob|Anderegg}} | G/F | United States}} | New York Knicks | Michigan State | 3 | 21 | Hank|Stein}} | G | United States}} | St. Louis Hawks | Xavier | 3 | 22 | Ralph|Crosthwaite}} | C | United States}} | Boston Celtics | Western Kentucky | 4 | 23 | Leo|Byrd}} | G | United States}} | Cincinnati Royals | Marshall | 4 | 24 | George|Lee|George C.

Notes{{Cnote|1|Wilt Chamberlain was playing for the University of Kansas until May 1958, when he decided to leave college early to play professional basketball. However, the NBA rules prevented college players from playing in the league until their class graduated, therefore Chamberlain wasn't eligible to play in the 1958–59 season. He spent the 1958–59 season playing for the Harlem Globetrotters prior to the 1959 draft.[3]}}References- General
