The NBA needs to step into the future and makes every eligible underclassmen available to be drafted

To the surprise of very few, Zhaire Smith made it official Tuesday afternoon and signed with an agent, making him ineligible to return to Texas Tech.

After careful consideration I've decided to forgo my collegiate career and sign with Roc Nation.
Again I want to thank my family, friends , coaches, teammates, and TT fans. Your support has been great . I know this is the best decision for me and I hope to make y’all proud! pic.twitter.com/8IkexHvbc6— Zhaire (@zhaire_smith) April 18, 2018

Smith had previously declared for the draft without signing with an agent, giving him the opportunity to return to the university.
