Adam Silver on ending one-and-done rule, If super teams are a problem

[tremonthustler1]

They should just let the top HS prospects test the waters as they do for college players now. Then you don't get left with the excuses made because a team can't scout properly.

None of them would ever drop out of the draft

You have to take into the changing landscape of the feeder system leading into college basketball, HS basketball is a lot different today than it was when those guys were coming up, and someone like Wade needed college in general as he wasn't a top 50 recruit. Also we're seeing a decline in American players coming out of the draft, maybe that has to do with college maybe it doesn't but if the NBA had their option they'd rather get their hands on American kids for development sooner rather than later. Last year almost half the players drafted were international, their games are more advanced at a younger age in terms of fundamentals than Americans now, that would be different if the 17-18 year old American was working on his game with pros and professional trainers like the Internationals are at that age.

This year there will be way more Americans.

The International system is just different Their leagues are tiered and they start kids up the way we would in high school. Some kids declare just to get out of their situations though, because they do players dirty sometimes.

Meh, I disagree with that.

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.

Right because guys who went to college for 2-4 were never busts?

What silver was saying is that they excepted colleges to develop these players. They are not doing that. Sliver mentioned that they would be better off in the nba getting that work in.

Colleges didn't live up to their agreement

The GMs wouldn't be able to say that they couldn't get a good look at the HS prospects though.

Alonzo mourning
Dwayne Wade
Iverson
Jason Kidd
Larry Johnson
derrick coleman
reggie miller
Charles barkley
etc
etc

I can name college players who stayed at least 2-3 years for decades who were good to great nba players.High school cats list aint that deep

Those guys are all exceptions too. There are far more Doug McDermotts and Shabazz Napiers than Reggie Miller's & Jason Kidd's

Colleges don't develop players because they're just going to leave after one season anyways, no point in wasting their time.

The players who do stay are developed, but not to the extent they would be without the one and done rule.

D league gonna be a monster

And summer league has potential to be much better tho

If they take out the one and done rule they need to work on making the D league a more dedicated farm system like the NHL or MLB. Have each team with their own dleague team filled with their own prospects.

I wouldn't be against making the draft 4 or 5 rounds to have them get prospects to fill out the teams

They're already working on that, almost every team has a G-League affiliate now. The two way contracts will be great too.

1 and done has backfired lately, the wings are really struggling for the first few years.

Exactly and I don't want to hear shyt about high schoolers or 1 and dones.

These foreign players punk asses can come here fresh out of high school. Yet american kats who are mostly brothas got to go to college for 1 year.

I think that will change this year, outside of Isaac everyone should be fine.

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

NBAPA is a joke. Their baseball counterparts quite literally have the strongest union in the country with a fraction of the marketability and star power.
