 DraftExpress: Tables turning on NBA’s relationship with Europe
Something that NBA teams have not be prepared for is the possibility that their draft picks might just not be that enamored with making the jump to the NBA as they might have been in the past, and would do the unthinkable and downright snub them in the process.

On top of that, NBA contracts for 1st rounders can only be guaranteed for two years (although nothing is stopping teams from fully guaranteeing all four years from the get go), further weakening the ability of players to pay for their buyout amount from their European clubs when it exceeds the $500,000 allowed.
