The pool of underclassmen entering the NBA Draft is filling up.  Only 14 underclassmen entered the Draft in 1990, compared to 34 in this year's Draft as of yesterday afternoon.  The deadline to declare for this year's Draft was 11:59 P.M. last night.  The league will release the complete list this week.  

Early entrants make the teams' pre-Draft preparation and Draft-day choices far more challenging.  "This is going to be the toughest draft to analyze," said Marty Blake, the NBA's director of scouting, "and I've been doing this 52 years."

The flood of youth also boosts the likelihood of increased trade activity all the way up until and through Draft night.
