Message: [QUOTE="Fly Rodder, post: 1717081, member: 2133"] Under the new draft rules, these graduate transfers are going to be more and more in demand. Previous years, everyone pretty much knew who was going to the draft and by April, it was set in stone. Now, it's going to be in May and there are no repercussions for declaring for the NBA draft and getting to the combine where they can get extra official practice until then. If player shows up at a combine that's already on the NBA radar, but not projected as a draft until then for some reason, and absolutely kills it, he could be gone. It's going to be a crapshoot for a couple of years until college coaches and the NBA figure out how to play this system to their own advantage. Add in to the chaos that more and more NBA teams are setting up 1-1 agreements with (if not outright purchasing) D-League teams, there's going to be more and more demand for prospects to stash and develop under their control.
