The 1964 NBA draft was the 18th annual draft of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The draft was held on May 4, 1964, before the 1964–65 season. In this draft, nine NBA teams took turns selecting amateur U.S. college basketball players. A player who had finished his four-year college eligibility was eligible for selection. If a player left college early, he would not be eligible for selection until his college class graduated. In each round, the teams select in reverse order of their win–loss record in the previous season. Before the draft, a team could forfeit its first-round draft pick and then select any player from within a 50-mile (80 km) radius of its home arena as their territorial pick. The draft consisted of 15 rounds comprising 101 players selected.
Walt Hazzard was a territorial pick selected by the Los Angeles Lakers.
Willis Reed was the 8th pick, selected by the New York Knicks.
Paul Silas was the 10th pick, selected by the St. Louis Hawks.
Jerry Sloan was the 19th pick, selected by the Baltimore Bullets.
