I think the rules are fine as-is. If being able to WB a player is such a priority to someone, then they should draft in a way that basically guarantees them to be able WB the player. For MacLewis, he did have an incredible 13 point jump, something that you can't anticipate. However, that's a benefit in itself. Would Hokey prefer a 13 point jump or a normal 3-5 point jump and a chance at WB? I'd like to believe you'd take that 13 point jump every time.
With Baca, he was 75/88 on draft day and jumped to 80/93. That jump is not crazy in any way, shape, or form. It should've been known on draft day that there's a good chance he won't be WB eligible.
