Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 2172499, member: 127"] What people also overlook is that 16 of the 60 NBA picks last year (27%) were International players who never even played college ball. Actually 26 foreign born players (over 43%) were drafted overall, 15 or 50% in the first round. There are currently 113 foreign born players out of 420 players or 27% in the NBA. The demographics of the NBA are changing and changing very fast. Less and less American born players are being drafted, less sticking in the NBA. There has to be a reason these players are becoming more and more desirable. If I was in the business, I'd take the time to find out why. Despite the new 'test the waters' rule enacted last year to curb 'unready' players from leaving, a record number of 30 early entry players went undrafted. The previous record of undrafted early entry players was 17. Lots of delusion to go around. [/QUOTE]
