I wasn't aware that the nba got rid of the period where players can test the waters this year.
That being said I agree 100% with you now.

Had Dion and Melo sat out this year and just practiced do people honestly think they wouldn't have got drafted though?? Its very doubtfull even with the lack of game experience. With Melos case he would have to enter because of his grades. Its either that or head back to Brazil and take a bigger risk at trying to stand out where even fewer players get selected then from college ball.
 
A few years ago when players could test the waters before the draft deadline it could have been a very likely scenerio. In fact you could probably find a  instances where it did happen to guys who averaged around 10mpg. Not going to do the work but North Carolinas last championship team would be a good place to look.
 
If James seriously shot around 80% in practice then his confidence should be through the roof.
Excited to hear that.
