I think the NBA is getting tired of it. That's why less and less money goes to rookie contracts after every time they update the collective bargaining agreement. The league would love to have better trained, more mature players, but it's kind of like baseball owners not trusting each other (because it would be collusion) - "somebody's going to take him, it might as well be me!"
Yeah I am sure the GM's of the league would love to have more time to evaluate players before drafting them, but that isn't the case, so they have to deal with the system they have.
I don't see Ennis ever really coming out of the draft as a guy a GM wants to build around, and I can't see Grant as a top 5 pick next year if he comes back.
