Message: [QUOTE="Jake, post: 1725819, member: 86"] Grant got very lucky. Lots of those promises are broken. Ask Tyler Ennis. And if I recall, Grant was telling people that he was told he would be a lottery pick. The lies told to these kids are mind boggling. The draft isn't really a draft anymore. It's a leverage game. Good Agents, owners, and the absolute best players have it. Marginal first rounders and newbie agents have none. Zippo. Nada. Once they put their name in the draft, players are like leafs blowing in the wind. JB advises marginal first / second rounders to stay. He sees it as a mutual benefit move. He gets the player for another year,and the player gains draft LEVERAGE to get guaranteed money. I don't think JB has advised a single kid that ended up in the lottery to stay. [/QUOTE]
