This is not true.  Quite a lot of players in the NFL draft never play in a single game in the NFL.  Even in the much smaller NBA draft, a lot of players drafted never play in the NBA.  For the latter, it's 14 of 60 for 2007, 8 of 60 for 2006, 5 of 60 for 2005, and 13 of 60 in 2004.  Clearly, being drafted by the NBA does not make it almost certain that the player will play in the NBA, thus making the notability conferred by playing in the NBA not automatically extend to draftees.  I notice that none of the people complaining about  is even bothering to raise the issue in the appropriate area.  If anything, the consensus is moving towards making  more restrictive, not less
