42 percent of the players in the NBA this season were second round picks or undrafted.

You can spin this the other way too. Piecing together a few different data sources, for this years draft I found:
77 Underclassmen declared (with an agent)
11 International Players
84 "Notable" seniors. Obviously there are a lot more than 84, but Draft Express listed the guys they felt were relevant to the draft discussion.
Meaning that 142 of the 172 draft eligible players will be 2nd round or undrafted.
That would mean that 82% of the eligble players make up 42% of the league. Flipped the other way, 18% of the players (1st round picks) make up 58 % of the league.
