[QUOTE="glandon1960, post: 403749, member: 2458"] You're right in that no matter what the timeframe someone has to stay in college before being eligible for NBA draft - if it's more than 1 season there will be someone that breaks out that we'd all agree is ready to move on. Of course a kid could also sign to play and because of poor academics, off-court issues, etc be effectively off scholarship (or out of school) they next year. I agree w/Red in that if you give players that pretty much intend to use NCAA basketball to get ready to go to NBA the ability to go straight to G-League it is a positive step ... works reasonably well for baseball - they get chance to play against strong talent - some others a year or two out of high school, some possibly people ththat have played 4 years in college. Red is right in that the problem NBA had with players being drafted right out of high school for big bucks was the number of misses (for every Lebron there were way too many that were a bust) ... they do need to see kids play against others their size/speed/skill level to determine who can really make it in the NBA. Maybe the best (not perfect) answer is to require them to play 2 (or 3) years in college before NBA drafts them - and you're right that a small number of players will have been caught up in this one (and what options there are for those players needs to be laid out up front). From my perch, the current 1 and done is not the best thing from the fans perspective - you have teams (UK, Duke, etc). basically recruiting mostly 1 and dones .... at UK is seems that if a player is not going pro by end of sophmore year - Calipari does not want to recruit them, or they are going to be buried on the end of the bench behind the next wave of potential NBA all star wanna-bes. Broader parity is good for college basketball - which is why March Madness is so good! Spreading the better players out a little farther would be good for the game. [/QUOTE]
