[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 193867, member: 322"] [USER=322] I agree 100%. (edit note: I can't get rid of the underline) The baseball model of minor league or 3 years in college / 21 years old is another model. But that model leads to most of the best players not coming to the college game. ([URL]https://gtswarm.com/threads/2015-mlb-draft-8-10-june.6859/#post-153143[/URL] ) So we never see them play but we do get to see them develop for at least 3 (or 2 if older) years. The bonuses are the biggest for the HS players relative to potential. Then as Jrs in the draft and as Srs its usually pretty dismal. And college football we get to see them develop for at least 3 years. This model is justified for the contact most players will see and the need to continue to physically grow for that game to be able to take the physical impact. As a fan, this is probably the best model. And as a player who is more likely to get a career ending injury and wants to maximize their financial reward, the worst. Getting back to basketball, I think the baseball model would be truer to the student-athlete concept. It would also be as good or better for the players. And would probably level the playing field a bit. Of course, I expect no changes unless the NBA thinks changing the model will make them more money. This way, the best players get put into the "minor" leagues to demonstrate their talent and add to the excitement of the draft. This probably makes sense considering the fewer number of NBA players compared to NFL or MLB.[/user] [/QUOTE]
