Which Team Has the Most to Lose in the NBA Draft?

The NBA draft is the natural enemy of the college basketball coach and the college basketball fan.  For players, it’s a chance to earn millions and reach the peak level of their sport, but for those who love NCAA hoops, it just means  the players they came to know and love for a year or more are leaving them for good- off the to greener pastures of fame and fortune.

Some teams have more to risk than others. If you’re a fan of one of the most competitive teams, it’s more likely that the team has NBA caliber talent looking for the right time to declare for the draft. Some chose to stay on in college all four years, but most of the elite college basketball stars will declare after their first or second year.

Bleacher Report has a nice slideshow/article about the NCAA hoops teams that will be decimated if their top players all chose to go pro. What would Davidson be without Stephen Curry?  What would happen if Wake Forest lost their big three? Take a look at the report and see if your team is in the crosshairs of post-draft cellar status.
