Message: [QUOTE="Fly Rodder, post: 4682796, member: 2133"] Few players do, because very very very (*) few realize their dream of being a starter in the NBA. There are ~390-ish jobs in the NBA, but they all don't turn over every season - only a percentage do. But every year there are at least another 60-90 kids (or ~20% of the total positions, let alone the ones actually open or potentially open) thinking that they're going to get the call. And the number of players who don't stick for more than a season or even a few games is increasing.
