		Some argue that the slide through the draft of seniors like West has to compete with not only the increase of college underclassmen entering the draft, but also international prospects who have the “upside” to be superstars, even though many teams have seen very little of them actually play.
		The 2001 NBA Draft, however, had 55 underclassmen (a 218 percent increase), including 33 players who were 20 years old or younger and 6 high school seniors in the draft pool.
		That was the record for the most high schoolers in the NBA draft, until this past June, when eight high school players entered the draft, and all of them went in the first round.
