All that is required is fill out the necessary paperwork to enter the draft, a process that has allowed some with no real basketball ability to apply.It’s a phenomenon that’s not new. It’s gone on for nearly a half-century; some do it and generate attention, others have stayed quiet. It’s gimmicky, sure, but the rules are clear: If someone meets the general criteria laid out by the NBA, then they can become “eligible” for the draft.A law student from Florida named Jordan Haber is one of this year’s ...Trevor Williams outduels Miles Mikolas in rain as the Nationals cool off the Cardinals, 3-0
