Background

When 17 high school players were selected in the opening round of the First-Year Player Draft, it seemed as if the young would rule the two days at Disney World. But as the second day of the Draft unfolded, it became apparent that the new rules eliminating draft-and-follows as well those setting a firm signing date for draftees were having an impact on the proceedings.

When the 1,453rd and final pick was made, there were some significant changes in the approach to drafting high school players. For starters, there were only 476 prep players chosen, which represents the lowest total since 415 high school players were chosen in 1987. It was also only the second time in the past two decades that the number of high school players chosen dipped below 500.

There were 66 fewer prep players chosen than last year. In addition, high school players represented only 32.7 percent of those drafted, which is the lowest percentage since 32.8 percent of players chosen in 1987 came from the prep ranks.[4]
