How many NBA Drafts can a player be eligible for?

A player can be eligible for the NBA Draft up to two times. This typically involves declaring for the draft while maintaining the option to return to college for another year if they do not sign with an agent or if they go undrafted. If a player declares for the draft, they can withdraw and retain their college eligibility once, allowing for a second opportunity to declare in a subsequent year.

As players can only utilize this option twice while maintaining NCAA eligibility, this is why the answer of two drafts is accurate. After a player has declared for the draft and then opts not to return for a second chance, they lose their NCAA eligibility, making further draft eligibility moot.
