It says a lot when very good recent IL players -- Saunders, Sears etc. do not get drafted. Is there anyone currently playing IL BB that will get drafted? Probably not although Towns may have an outside shot if his game really improves. He has the size, shooting stroke and athleticism.
Another indicator as to improved IL play will be the number of players who get invited to a NBA camp on a yearly basis. Spieth has an invite by the Mavericks and perhaps one or two others seniors may get invitations.
A long way to go before IL players get drafted like the good old days but remember that one of the arguments for the IL Tournament that it will significantly bolster recruiting efforts. Time will tell.
