[QUOTE="IlliniOX08, post: 1219269, member: 227584"] Definitely a true sentiment overall. However, this is also a symptom of NBA teams using the draft and stash more and more to save $$ in the immediate future. NBA teams are gearing up for the wild wild west salary cap situation coming in the next couple years. By most accounts DJax was a player slated to go in the 20-25 range. NBA teams are valuing the draft and stash much higher and then going after immediate contributors (like DJax) on non-guaranteed, bargain contracts. Don't have to pay the first round $ out to the Euros now and if DJax (or guys like him) doesn't pan out they can move on quickly and painlessly. So while DJax is likely a top 20-25 player in this draft class, NBA teams are finally getting smart and figuring out they can all get guys with his value on bargain deals. [/QUOTE]
