Don't forget in the "good old days" the NBA draft was 7 rounds. Now it has only 2. And unlike some years ago, many draft slots are taken by foregn players. The NBA has recrafted its draft as a spectacle and marketing tool, rather than a restocking tool. Plus all tbose undrafted invitees get paid less than they would have if they had been middle round draftees. Like it or not, the path to the NBA for mid-major players runs through the summer leagues and camp invitations. The draft is for the power conference bandit schools and foreign pros.
