Message: [QUOTE="manleyzoo, post: 2605241, member: 519"] Everybody talks endlessly about draft stock, draft position, which round, how much money, blah, blah. That's nowhere near the point, as Boeheim has pointed out a number of times. After the first 10-11 picks, it's not where you get picked, it's if you have opportunities with the team that picks you. If there's possibilities for you with the team that picks you, no matter what the round, you might get a chance or two to stick around. His point is there's a fair amount of luck involved. Grant is a perfect case in point. Philly had playing time available. Most NBA teams don't. As for the money and you'll have more than most ppl make in a lifetime, blah, blah, that's BS. It goes just about as fast as you get it. The best thing about getting a second contract is players have blown all the money from the first. [/QUOTE]
