Imagine being a real bright scholar as a senior in high school. A company like IBM wants to pay you around $1 million year to work for them. Of course, you would be skipping college, cause what's the point of college if you already have a job lined up in the field you want to be in making an outrageous amount of money. Some will say, but what if doesn't work out at IBM. You tell them, well with the money I'll be making in my first few years, I can easily pay for college if IBM didn't work out and I wante to go back to school and get my degree. Now imagine the Tech industry making a rule that you MUST attend college or be a certain age before you can work for IBM or any other tech company. Even if those companies are willing to pay you and would hire you if you were on the market!
Now imagine you not understanding, and saying why? Imagine someone telling you it's to save you from yourself
Even though for every person that went to the tech industry out of high school before you that had a bad experience, there is one that had a hall of fame tech career.
Imagine you saying, well I think that's stupid, I'm going to go overseas and make money in the tech industry. Now imagine the tech industry saying
that's a bad idea, it won't prepare you for the Tech industry over here. Even though your friends Brandon Jennings and Emanuel Mudiay didn't have an issue taking that route. They are not even known as that good in the tech industry, but they still making millions
You think that's a success
Man fukk the one and done rule. I know the NBAPA don't give a fukk about that shyt, but they are the most likely ones with the power to get it changed if these owners and the league who are colluding with the NCAA don't wanna do shyt

Back to the high school kids going straight to the nba and being question marks or trash for 3 years before a team has to decide whether or not to pay them 90+ mil 
If I ran the nba I'd Make them stay in school 2 years minimum no more eddy curry,kwame brown,sebestian telfair,leon smith bum ass players.

Sounds like an issue with scouting.Back to the high school kids going straight to the nba and being question marks or trash for 3 years before a team has to decide whether or not to pay them 90+ mil

Bulls drafted McDermott's bum ass, passed on younger better players, traded 2 picks to move up and grab him and he was as question mark every year.
Denzel Valentine played 4 years and shot 35% this year.

but this also expands the talent pool for the draft to challenge those super teams if you know how to draft
why blame guys like curry and brown cause gms are simply stupid
If you can be a professional tennis player at 18 then you can be a professional basketball player at 18 too.
I've been conflicted on this issue but at the end of the day, the responsibility is up to the teams to identify, select, and develop their players.
If some kid comes in at 18 and he sucks, well fukk it. He's just made a few million dollars. Go to college then if you want.

2 things
Nobody gives a fukk about parity....they give a fukk about whether their team is good or whether their favorite players are on good teams...Anybody else claiming something else is lying..The way to solve that is to have a front office worth a damn and who is actively interesting in winning....not being a cash vaccuum while being mediocre
One and done is just a bullshyt protectionism mechanism for the NCAA. The NCAA has demonstrated time and again it does not give a fukk about student athletes. This patronizing nonsense of doing it for the sake of kids who might not make it is transparent hogwash..Making real income is always the better choice because it gives you MORE OPTIONS.
You can always go back to college...Income earning years as an athlete is a limited window.
Silver needs to shut the fukk up

Kwame brown,eddy curry,tyson chandler(adequate role player),kedrick brown,desagna diop were picked in the top 11 in the 2001 draft. For every lebron and kobe there's 10-15 of these bum ass nikkas.Straight to high school players are wastes outside a few exceptions, go to college and come out somewhat polished like jordan,bird,magic,kareem,duncan,ewing,webber,grant hill,penny,shaq etc.It's better for the nba than playing bums in the d league or sitting on the bench or averaging 3 ppg in 9 mins

The HS to pro players were very successful, there was a study done on them and they were generally more productive than the college players drafted at the same time.

Then blame the GM's for taking those that become busts. It's a risk a team may or may not take. There is literally NO reason that adults should not be allowed to be drafted if a team deems they are worthy. This is just another terrible rule the NBA has that leagues with common sense would not have. And, don't compare this to the NFL as it's a completely different sports where an 18 year old is almost never going to be physically ready.
