As the first day of the NBA draft comes to a close, adrenaline is still steadily flowing. Some of the top college and international athletes have officially made it to the top level of competition in basketball. However, there are some things they all need to remember.

1. You are now, once again, the bottom of the food chain.

We get it. You were the star. Remember what it was like to be a freshman in high school? Yeah, you're back to that. While you may be the butt of the jokes and the new pack mule for the team, you will learn more than you think from those who are more experienced than you.

2. Your life is no longer just your own.

The days of "boyish" mistakes and juvenile outbursts on social media are over. As you live your life, fans — many of them children — will follow your every move. Be a role model, not a menace.

3.Don't blow all your money.

While you are in the prime of your life and have no worries, you will one day. Remember that an ACL tear or your team deciding they need your salary to attract a superstar free agent could be around any corner. Set money aside. Plan for the future.

4. Take care of your family and friends.

From whoever raised you to the people who have supported you from the minute you began your basketball career, remember the little people. When your career is over, the fans won't love you like they used to. Your family and friends will.

5. Don't Manziel out.

Go to practice. Don't party too hard. Respect your coaches.
