BYNUM TRADED TODAY TO THE 76ers!!!Andrew Bynum was 17 years, eight months and two days old, making himself to be the
youngest player to ever be drafted by an NBA team. This record will likely last for the foreseeable future since the new collective bargaining agreement between NBA owners and the NBA Players' Association mandates that American players who enter the NBA Draft must be at least one year removed from the graduation of their high school class and reach age 19 no later than December 31 of the calendar year of the draft.
His name is often misspelled as:
Andrew Bynam,
Andrew Bynom.
