The Players' Tribune has NBA Draft prospects doing something pretty fun: filling out job applications.
You tend to forget that these guys are starting new careers out of college like people in all other walks of life. In the NBA, though, that usually doesn't come with a formal job application. The Players' Tribune is changing that.
The first application they've published is from Wisconsin's Sam Dekker, who's expected to be selected in the first round of this month's draft.

— When asked to provide his predicted video game rating, Dekker wrote "100" before putting in parentheses "76 probably idk."
— Dekker pointed prospective employers in the direction of his game film from the Badgers' Elite Eight win over Arizona. Probably a good idea, considering he scored 20 second-half points on 6-for-6 shooting including 5-for-5 3-point shooting.
