1957 NBA Draft: all the picks, trades and information.
Information about the 1957 NBA Draft, including the first and second round, all the trades and players data.
Note: Between 1947 and 1965, before the start of the draft, the teams could forfeit their first-round pick to instead use a 'territorial pick' to select a player from their immediate area. This had the intention of building strong local fan bases.
Here you have all the picks from the 1957 NBA Draft. Total selections: 85
