New NBA draft rule serves up confusion to underclassmen

Posted Mar 24, 2012
The new draft rule calls for all underclassmen to indicate whether they're in or out of the NBA draft on April 10, one week after the Final Four ends and a day before the month-long spring signing period. But there is a flaw in this rule that the NBA and agents have taken notice of recently. An underclassman can say on April 10 that he's returning to school, but he can still declare for the NBA draft by the league's April 29 deadline. (ESPN.com)
