Message: [QUOTE="SUFan44, post: 1073494, member: 39"] A few numbers for you that I looked up real quick: According to P-S article about Jerami this week, 97.7 percent of collegiate first-round picks since 2008 have played at least two years in the NBA. 88 percent of college players drafted in the first round have gotten at least a fourth season. From a DraftExpress article: The most likely five-year outcome for the 574 picks made in the second round between 1980 and 2001 was that they were no longer playing in the NBA. Mixed in were a few bench players and, rarely, a starter or star. Of these players, 29% never played in an NBA game, 62% played fewer than 100 games, and 72% were not in the NBA within five years after being drafted. Not going to look up what has happened over the last 13 years in the 2nd round, but I'm sure the trend is similar. [/QUOTE]
