What happens to all the players that will not get drafted at all out of High School? Of course there are players that have been drafted, but what about those that are not first round draft pick?
Team sports are also much different than individual sports as well. When you have to get some camaraderie with other players, it is different when you are competing by yourself.
Shaun Livingston from Peoria Central High School in Illinois has declared for the NBA and passes up his scholarship to Duke. This kid won the State Championship in Illinois, but struggled at times to score 15 points in a High School game. And he is going to have to compete against 12 other HS players and many college players to make it into the first round. Remember, they have not done the camps yet either. And that is where the real evaluation is going to be made. You stock can fall off greatly just by the NBA Evaluation held at Moody Bible College in Chicago alone. I can understand the opportunity to want to take that chance to make millions, but if you fail, you fail big. First Rounders are the only ones that are pretty much guaranteed to make the team. Second rounders often do not make the roster or get the millions at all. So basically you have to be the top 32 player to make a team. Out of all those players HS and college. I know we are going to see a few of those HS players not make it.
Peace
