[QUOTE="dtm1997, post: 193654, member: 572"] [USER=322]@GTNavyNuke[/USER] The system is broken and we can thank the NBA for that by forcing kids to go to school for a year. I do think they're figuring out a long-term solution as the D-League moves more & more to a true minor league, which will take in straight from HS kids and then maybe you create a baseball-like 2-year college reqmt if you don't try to go pro. It's fair to want to see these kids develop because it does engender an emotional relationship, but what does that mean? Should we diminish the adoration that Kenny Anderson gets to this day because he left after 2 years? Does a 2nd year mean he developed? Do you look down upon a kid because he's chasing an oppty to make lifechanging money for him & his family? If a kid was an engineering genius and got offered a great job without graduating, how would anyone feel about that? Let's downplay Chris Klaus' contributions as one of GT's biggest dropouts. What about a guy like James Forrest who torpedoed potential NBA earnings by not leaving early when he should have? Do we campaign to Brian Gregory to stop recruiting Wendell Carter, 2017's #1 HS player from Pace Academy, who's assuredly a 1 & done, but also considering Harvard because he loves math? I'd like to see a solid foundation of multi-year players that we can emotionally invest in, but whether it's elite HS talent or grad transfers, you can't not bring in talent if you think they can be difference makers.
