Saw a story about all the people at his draft party last night. I doubt you'd have a party while hoping not to be drafted.
If you are a mid to late 2nd round draft pick you probably aren't getting a full roster spot and hence full NBA salary. They have a couple of roster spots they can use for draft and stash. So they sign you, put you in the D League and if they need you (somebody gets hurt) then you get called up. You earn D League salary ($75,000 or whatever) while you are in the D League and an NBA minimum salary (pro rata) when/ if you get called up._lefraud_ said:
As for "trying not to get drafted". This is a pretty risky play in a lot of different ways. If the word around the league is that a player is hoping to go undrafted, I'm sure teams would really excited about adding said play per free agency. Also, the player better be damn good to hope to sign, while not being drafted. But if the player is damn good, wouldn't he be drafted?
I'd like to find the guys who regret being drafted, as opposed to the guys "trying not to get drafted".

Really hope DJ doesn't leave. Would love to see what can happen when he, Admon, and Davis can do as seniors.

I'd guess over, as in he'll be picked after five

Yep. And hopefully Savion Flagg is the stud that he seems to be and would just move right into a starting role on the wing as a sophomore. That is how optimally we should cross our fingers on how things work out.
If the TexAgs message board opinions mattered to NBA decision makers, they would have pushed Alex Caruso overseas months ago to disappear forever in international basketball league obscurity.mgmgrand said:
If you're 6'9", 20 yrs old with some ball handling skills, NBA range, athletic frame, etc...you are going to get NBA guys taking chances on you, regardless of what NCAA message board posters think about your productivity at their school.

A typical year....any D1 player that goes on to make money as a pro beat some tough odds.
Any D1 player that actually gets drafted to NBA team REALLY beat some tough odds.

And the high D-1's have 1-2 guys on scholarship that will never attempt to go pro. Since you are a stickler for details, let's switch out Arkansas-Pine Bluff for Centenary, and Alabama St. for Emporia St.TXAggie2011 said:
I understand the point but one of those three schools is Division 2 and another is Division 3 and the school in Division 1 just had a player sign a pro contract. They actually had at least two sign contracts during this last school year.
There are tons of international leagues...a few of the bigger ones in Europe pay good money but most are pretty small. There's a league in Kazakhstan...that can't pay much.mallen said:
Per the NCAA, only 1.1% will have NBA careers. 19% will have professional careers (NBA plus minor leagues/international). I was surprised by the 19%. Thought it would be lower.
