Agree completely. It is too bad they didn't get to hear their name called, and I believe there is some guaranteed money involved with being drafted in the second round. Where people lost me was in asserting that it is unconscionable that they didn't get drafted. There are a lot of really good players that don't get drafted for various reasons, usually age and projectability to the NBA. You see guys like Sean Kilpatrick, Patric Young, CJ Fair, all who were just as good college players, not getting drafted and you realize that a lot of very good players don't get to hear their name.
I understand what you're writing here, and I understand why GM's and teams draft the way they do in the 2nd round, but for me, picking a bunch of European guys in the 2nd round over guys like Kane and Ejim, and even the guys you mentioned like Patric Young and Kilpatrick is the exact reason WHY I'm not a big NBA fan. I would much rather watch guys I've watched play and pay attention to them rather than some Euro dude who might not even make it over here to play anyway.
