Message: [QUOTE="Newhouser, post: 1732635, member: 5155"] As an NBA fan all this talk about who's staying and who's leaving always makes me think "what not ready player will my team be forced to draft this year". How much better (or worse) would the draft process be if NBA teams could pass on drafting anyone? Execs for middle of the road teams like the Hawks and Pacers must dread draft day knowing they are going to have to pick and pay a good college player who probably will not help their team at all. Imagine what the Spurs (who have done well hoarding foreign players) and Warriors think? They would rather donate a million dollars to pass on a pick than pay a guy who won't make their team. Early entry would change entirely if NBA teams could stand pat and say they aren't participating in the draft. [/QUOTE]
