Except that when NCAA players who finish school those rights are down to a couple of months. If a junior player doesn't sign he goes back in the draft and can't get to choose his team after his last season. It's a stupid rule and it needs to be changed. The entry draft shouldn't be mocked, If a player doesn't like the team that drafted him, either go back to the draft or sit a year.
