re: Record 92 Underclassman Declare for the Draft

Why the sudden exodus? Blame the new rookie wage scale, which rewards less money to first round draft picks and delays the big payout until a player’s second contract. That means the more time spent in the league, the better. A lot of these players want to get moving on proving themselves, even if they are a late round pick at the start.

this still makes no sense to me. 92 players are basically 3 rounds themselves. the vast majority of these guys are going to be later round picks, and would have been under the old CBA. they're in no different position
