Memphis Grizzlies draftee Josh Selby has stated that although he would have liked to go straight into the NBA after being drafted, he doesn’t worry too much about the current NBA lockout. The players and owners are at loggerheads over a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), leaving rookies like Selby in the dark without any NBA contracts, but Selby says he can get by for the moment.

The former Kansas player is one of many young players, who knew that declaring for the NBA draft this year could be problematic, but took the decision anyway. While others, like Kemba Walker, have complained of how the lockout has been really tough on them, Selby says there’s not much he can do about it and its best to just stay calm.

“Money-wise, I wouldn’t say it’s been difficult,” Selby said according to Commercial Appeal. “It would be wonderful if there wasn’t a lockout. But everybody has a loan they can take out. I’m just trying to keep a budget and make sure I don’t overspend. I don’t need to buy an expensive car or a home. I don’t need any of that.”
