The NBA Draft is creeping ever closer, and while most are focused on first-round candidates, early-entry players who are on on the bubble have a major decision to make: stay in the draft or go back to school?
For years, players have had to make the decision to give up their college eligibility sometime in April, which gave them little time to determine their draft standing. Fortunately, the NCAA decided to change the rule last January, pushing the deadline to 10 days after the draft combine (May 25th this year). Players are also allowed to enter and withdraw their names each year if they like, a change from the previous rule which limited them to only enter their name into the draft twice before losing eligibility.
