One of the interesting things that the Raptors have done in building up their bench is bringing undrafted seniors or 2nd round seniors into their program and developing them.

Fred Van Vleet - undrafted
Norm Powell - mid 2nd rounder
Terrence Davis - undrafted
Chris Boucher - undrafted, did spend one year is GS system before Raptors brought him in.

All four are currently in the rotation -- Boucher goes in and out depending on injuries.

It seems, and I could be wrong, that there are more undrafted players in the league now that our doing well than in the past.

With the new NBA it is less about athleticism, and more about skill.   You need to be good defensively, but the skills are different and are much more awareness based rather than athletic based.   This seems to favour the NBA possibilities of an NCAA upperclassman more than before.

Don't know if it's just exceptions and really small samples, or a real trend that will develop.
