Why go to college if your future is basketball? Do it like baseball, go straight from HS to the minors.

I actually don’t think this is a bad idea, will hurt college, but might be an interesting plan with a lot of NBA teams moving to have their own exclusive D-League team.

But doesn’t he think that these players jumping in younger and younger actually hurt the draft? It weakens it because teams that are looking for a player who can be of some help to them don’t get it, they get a HS senior.

If there’s a low age limit then everyone’s just going to come out younger and younger, and that’s just going to make the draft a bunch of untrained, unskilled HS kids. Whats the point? The teams who need help should be able to get it via the draft, not wait 6 years for some kid to be useful to them.

screw that, you should have to play at least 2-3 years in school before going pro. if one and dones are hurting college, wouldn’t it be worse if they never even had to go? college ball used to be the shit, now the turnover rate is so high, it’s hard for a fan to get into any teams unless thats where they went to school. It’s actually pretty sad the way these players dont even value getting an education. I know some of them just aren’t studious but some of them need to keep their asses in school, get that free education and then go pro. who knows, they may even get an NCAA championship or two.

They need to allow high schoolers to make the jump to the NBA again.

The constant one and dones is really hurting college ball.

Raise the NBA minimum to 21. Anyone younger can play elsewhere until they’re eligible. Anyone that wants to draft a youngster can stick them in the D-League until they qualify.

Tyson Chandler jumped straight from high school to the NBA, the No. 2 overall pick in 2001. He and Eddy Curry were going to be the future of the Knicks. I don’t need to remind you how that went.
