Is there any professional team sport that is harder for college kids to join than the NBA?
Here in Phoenix, the Suns had 3 x 1st round draft picks this year, but since the best was #14, couldn't turn those into any guaranteed roster players for the 2014-15 season.
30 teams x 14 per team = 420 roster players in the NBA. Yet, most experts believe only the top 5-10 players in a year's draft typically make an impact in the pros.
Wow, pretty tough league to get into...Only 60-65 players drafted each year..
That is out of several thousand eligible collegiate players each year from the US and around the world.
