Well factors come into play. How good is the player? Is he willing to take less to play closer to home? If you are drafted like in the NHL you won't get that choice until you are qualified for UFA and if you are not a top tier talent you are probably not getting your hometown choice. The majority of pro sports players do not fall into the category where they can always lure the home team to pick them up. It doesn't work that way.
