OK, we have the first insane decision to test the waters and it's (drumroll please) .... A.J. Abrams.
Abrams is a heck of a shooter, but he's a 5-foot-11 (and that may be generous) shooting guard. There aren't a whole lot of those in the league.
I understand that it's not as if Abrams will lose anything by declaring since he won't pay any money out of his own pocket to work out for NBA teams, but there's nothing that the fairly one-dimensional junior can really get out of this - except for the fact that he'll be completely exposed going up against legitimate NBA prospects.
I don't see how this is a mistake. Abrams is a junior, so this is his chance to work out for NBA personnel and get some feedback as to what he needs to improve (height!) to make it in the NBA after his senior season. He's obviously not going to keep his name in the draft this year. I'd bet my bottom dollar that he just wants feedback. I think more juniors (read: Danny Green) ought to take this approach.
