I think that’s relatively common for second round picks. I know Austin Reeves did something similar.
how does that help? doesn’t the nba team who drafts them retain the rights til they come to the nba?
I think you can re-enter the draft the following year in hopes of getting picked by another team. So if a player says I’m not playing for you, most teams probably don’t want to waste a pick on a player they’ll never get.
For players there is no benefit to being drafted early in second round vs going undeafted. Only first round picks are subject to the rookie scale, everyone else can get paid as much or little as they can negotiate. So theoretically the last pick in the draft or someone undrafted all together can get paid more than the first pick.
I don’t think that’s true, that defeats the entire purpose of the draft. If a team selects a player they retain the draft rights forever unless the rights are traded. but yes teams generally try to avoid hostile players for other reasons, it’s usually not worth the hassle.

This is what I found about the topic but IDK how accurate it is.
that’s only if they don’t play any ball in that time. if they play in college or overseas the clock stops, per #49 here:

Is this up to date? It seems it was last updated for the 22-23 season before the newest cba took effect.
i seriously doubt this stuff has changed that much. it would essentially do away with the whole “draft and stash” strategy for overseas players which i’m pretty sure would have been talked about a lot by now.
