Paul’s Big Board 3.0 (4/24)

Now that the NBA playoffs are in full swing, the countdown for the 2018 NBA Draft gets one step closer. This past Sunday was the deadline for players to declare for the draft and be eligible to compete in the combine. After the new rule was introduced last year, players who sign with an agent will not be eligible to possibly return to school if they don’t like their draft stock. Players who have declared without agents have the ability to test the draft waters and return to school if they don’t like where they are ranked in the draft. Some more important upcoming dates are: NBA DRAFT LOTTERY May 15/ NBA DRAFT COMBINE May 16-20/ EARLY ENTRY WITHDRAWAL DEADLINE June 11/ NBA DRAFT 2018 June 21. Below is my third volume of my NBA Draft Rankings for 2018. Enjoy.
