But on the off chance the draftee does something unexpected in Europe, they have the rights to them. People would rather see college kids drafted in those instances. 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.

Normally, Finch is a grouchy, dyspeptic, glass-is-half-empty type of guy. He is, after all, a professional nitpicker. It was heartwarming to hear his upbeat take about the players. Still, as always, there were plenty of nits to pick. This is Finch's big week, and he's ready to weigh in. So here's what he thinks about ...

Ron Baker, 6'4" senior guard, Wichita State: "Probably overrated as a shooter and underrated as an overall player. He's not an NBA talent, but he has some intangibles. He had a tendency to be their best player in the last five minutes. Maybe he gets drafted end of the second round, but he's probably headed for Europe."

Fred VanVleet, 5'11" senior guard, Wichita State: "I hear he's been working out great, but I don't see him making the league. What does he do? He couldn't hold Cat Barber's jock, and Cat's probably going to be middle second round. He's so small, not a great athlete, struggled getting places in pick and roll. I think he goes undrafted."
