MVC prospects for NBA draft

[uniftw]

I think it might help if the NBA had a legitimate minor league. The D-League kind of does that, but I heard there are around 8 teams or so, maybe more, that don't have any affiliate. I think if they each had a team and owned the rights to each player, you might see more NCAA players drafted and developed there.

As of this year there are 19 teams which are all single franchise associated. Getting closer to a farm system.

Haven't understood why Wichita hasn't gone after a D league team. They could be an affiliate to Denver. Chase the draft to three rounds and the second and third round teams are guaranteed a D League spot if they don't make the NBA. Now the signing bonus will have to be big if they want to keep some of these players from going overseas. The current teams without affiliates are:

Atlanta
Brooklyn
Charlotte
Chicago
Denver
LA Clippers
Milwaukee
Minnesota
New Orleans
Portland
Washinton

You'd still have to convince teams to not just pull 17 year old Euro kids with zero chance/interest of ever even trying to make an NBA roster because it allows them to draft someone, hold the rights, and not actually have to pay anyone.

Chicago will have one next year "Windy City Bulls" in Hoffman Estates. Might actually go to some of those since I live right by there

Maybe they need to seperate the foreign players from the college players and have two seperate drafts.

I could be wrong but I have a feeling Baker gets taken in the 2nd round.

I'd love to be wrong but I'm guessing that nobody gets drafted this year

I must have listened to Mark Adams too much when he kept calling Baker a "green room guy". That guy is the worst.

He is most definite a MVC homer to the point of delusion.

This mock has Baker as the last player taken.

Not nearly enough Euro's in that mock.
