It is fun to see one of your favorite players have their name called on draft night, and it gives them a higher likelihood of making a roster. It would be kind of weird if that didn't excite a fan IMO.

They're still not guaranteed a contract or a spot but they get their shot and guys would most likely rather be drafted than go the undrafted route.

Trump would solve this and make the NBA only draft American players!!!!
I understand why NBA teams do the "draft and follow" of younger foreign players. It makes a lot of sense.

The Boston Celtics did something similar with Larry Bird almost 40 years ago.
