You have to be 19 and at least one year removed from high school. Ben Wallace played for Virginia Union. You may submit your name into the NBA Draft even if you never played for a team and if you are good. You have to fill out a form and send them into the NBA League office. Most NBA pre-draft camps are by invitation only so it would be up to you to get a tryout for a team, either finding an agent or contacting a team requesting a tryout but most teams dont waste their time with people they never heard of. It is a long journey so you have to perservere and use every resource possible.

I believe the person would need some kind of agent to sign up for the NBA draft. They can sign up, but that doesn't mean they'll be drafted, or even noticed for that matter. ...and all that money spent on the agent just to sign them up will go to waste.
As far as requirements go, the only requirement for entering was that you needed to be 18 to enter. However, things changed last year when the NBA required players to have graduated high school and wait 1 year after their high school graduation to enter.
I don't know if Ben played in college, but I believe he wasn't picked in the draft. Wallace was picked up as a free agent during one of the summer leagues.
NBA teams hold summer leagues annually, as well as training camps. Getting into the NBA requires a LOT more than being a great player. Being in the NBA, even college level requires studying playbooks and literally memorizing hundreds of plays. It also requires teamwork, court awareness, etc etc. (while being VERY tired) Just being able to take on someone 1v1 in streetball won't cut it.
However, if someone was feeling really serious about it, I'd suggest hiring an agent first thing, then have them contact a team's GM or assistant GM about attending a team's training camp in the summer. Probably what'll happen is they'll have some kind of pre-training camp thing, just to filter out the guys to make it to the camp. After that, I think they usually select a few people from the camp to participate in the summer league. If they stand out in the summer league and they're liked, they'd have a CHANCE at get signed in for the NBA's minimum wage (about 250k or 500k per season).

Yes, you can sign up for an NBA draft but it doesn't mean you'll get drafted. First off, you need an agent or you can represent yourself but if you're an unknown project then it's better to get an agent. If you never played high school or college ball, it'll be very hard to get NBA team's attention. You'll need your agent to contact the teams individual and let them know you wish to schedule a private work out with them. You can also sign up for the Combine, which is a camp where they test your speed, strength, athletic abilities, shooting range, and even basketball skills. How you fare during these 2 tryouts will determine whether you get drafted or not. Ben Wallace did play some college ball but at a relatively unknown junior college. Here is a little background on his origins.
"As a high school player, Wallace achieved all-state honors in track, football, and baseball. He first played college basketball on the junior college level at Cuyahoga Community College for two years. He then transferred to Virginia Union, a Division II school, where he studied criminal justice. As an undrafted player, he was signed as a rookie free agent by the Washington Bullets on October 2, 1996 after playing in Italy."
So just like job hunting, if you want an NBA team to take a chance on you, you need some kind of credential, either high school or college resume. You're really going to have to WoW them with your workout and prove to them without a doubt, you are the diamond in the rough in this draft. The bottom line argument is why should they waste a precious draft pick on you vs. the rest of the kids in the country. It's a competitive sport and only the most athletically gifted and talented players make it out of the woods.

Discover now the best sport betting system: http://sport-betting-tips.checkhere.info
Too many people think of sports betting as just something they do in their past time. However, many people can see the potential that exists if you manage to have the right sports betting strategy and correct approach to betting in general. Are you sick of losing? Interested in finding out how to turn your luck around? Do you want to know which sports betting strategies stand to help you make the most from your betting?
Any good strategy should allow you to place bets based on a systematic method. Of course there is always a random element or so called luck involved, but betting is all about stacking the odds in your favor. There should be no guess work involved or bets placed based on gut feelings. Betting is a business and it should be treated like one. Any money you use for betting needs to be separate from money you use for your daily life or anything else. How can you possibly expect to follow a strategy with money that was originally set aside to pay next week's rent with? You can't. This will help you to focus on the task of betting and remove any emotional strings attached to the money.
So what makes a good strategy or what should you look for in a strategy before you decide to implement it? Any good strategy needs to have a positive expectancy. This means that in the long run you will win. The hit rate of the strategy needs to be above 50% for you to be able to profit in the long run. An ideal win rate should be between 60 to 70%, because you will need to cover the fees and other expensive associated with betting. Is it feasible to expect you'll be able to find a system that has a 100% win rate? No, it isn't. The best you can do is find a system that has a positive expectancy and stick with it. In the long run you will make more money than you can possibly lose.
Keep whatever information and news you have about the teams as up to date as possible. Any changes in the teams makeup or factors that affect how the players play will great affect the potential outcome of a match. Make sure that you are constantly up to date on every aspect that affects the potential outcome of a match. Information is the key to winning at sports betting.

Ben Wallace went to Virginia Union, look it up and do some research before you post. And no you will not make it, and no not everyone can sign up for the draft, requirements have to have one year in college before you enter the league (if you are from America) Europe rules I am not to sure of. And if you never played on a team than there is no point because in the end you are not really that good if you haven't even made a team. And if it is because you didn't tryout, teams will look at you and say you are not committed because you don't know what it takes, and what you have to sacrifice to be a part of a team. Plus you probably suck!
