Adam Silver: Age limit top priority

[HHR]

When I was in high school there were pro teams looking at this kid who pitched...He was in the 10 or 11th grade. I thought they were there to sign him

Nope. Just early scouting.

But your generally viewed as a failure if you go other routes besides being a highly touted college player .

No I want a minor leagues not whatever the dleague is. It's full of the kind of players I described who won't ever make the nba it's not used to develop players to bring to the nba . How many dleague players ever make it to a nba roster and if they do then have a successful career ? It's viewed as negative if you aren't automatically a allstar once you step into the nba . The other Option is for teams to not draft prospects anymore and focus on multiyear players guys would stay in longer .

How would a high schooler be looked at as a failure for playing in the d league?
Some of y'all act like scouts have never seen a d league game or called a cat up.

So half the list were stars, the rest were above average players
Someone tell me how great college has been for Wall; Durant, Bron, and AD?

Everybody I posted was named to the All-Nba team multiple times though

Would y'all blame the PA if they allowed this to happen?

Yes, unless it's the get drafted out of HS or go to college for two years suggestion that's been posted in here. The NBA players union has been a joke for years.

Making the playoffs a 16-team format should be Silver's priority, not increasing the age limit.

I saw today that over 1/3 of all HS players who declared went undrafted

How many college players went undrafted?

If the NCAA and the NBA are concerned about students, they should take a look at this.

Overall, white players graduated at a 32 percent higher rate than their black teammates. Many large colleges and universities failed to graduate even half the black players on their teams. At the University of Akron, the men's team had a 33 percent graduation rate -- and a 33 percent white team. The graduation rate for black students? Zero.

[Mr swag]

more kids coming in with an unpolished game who aren't as good are getting paid. an extra year means more learning the game

They don't teach shyt in college. Looks like the talent got worse when the had the 1 year rule

You can't teach much of anything in one year
