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

[JP_614]

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.

I agree let them out they name in the hat do all the draft stuff if a teams wants them let the teams choose

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.

Selection bias though.

All of a sudden super teams are a problem

Lakers stacked the deck in a terrible conference and made the finals 9 times in 12 fukking years yet hear no complaints about parity

#LWO will be back :blessedmagic:

LWO teams then were drafted outside of Kareem who didn't win with the Lakers until :blessedmagic: came.

after a certain date though they have to decide whether they're in or out.

Right, so next year when some team magically picks up Melo, Bosh, Wade, Westbrook, Griffin, Butler, and CP3 all under budget we will continue giving it a pass because the Lakers got Magic in the draft

One and done rule never should've been instated to begin with. These guys should be able to go to the NBA the moment they turn 18 whether they graduated or not. Shouldn't be any discussion about that.

His defense of "super teams"

LOL @ players having to play for free because NBA scouts ain't shyt

This. I remember Wilbon talking about all that protecting them from themselves, they are not ready for the NBA at 18 crap and Joey Logano went pro at 18 in Nascar the day before and Wilbon and nobody else said shyt about he needs to be protected from making millions and what if he fails.
All these Helen Lovejoy ass journalist have nothing to say about teenagers going pro in baseball,golf and tennis.

The owners are the ones protecting themselves from themselves.

And that also applies to rookie contract scaling

I don't care what stats or science you show me that proves going to college for a yr is better, going to college for 2 is better or going straight to the NBA after HS is better.

If the kid has graduated HS, he should have every right to choose as he pleases, whether it's go to college for a yr or more or go straight to the NBA. It shouldn't matter if the kid turns into an allstar, superstar or a bust. It's solely his decision and the decisions of the team to draft these kids or not.

 

[CrimsonTider]

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

Y'all say this every year

1 and done has totally ruined College basketball

 

[the cool]

A LOT OF YOUTUBE AND HIGHSCHOOL SENSATIONS GOT EXPOSED
WHEN THEY GOT TO COLLEGE.

1 AND DONE DEFINITELY SAVED US
AND THE LEAGUE
FROM EVEN MORE fukk UPS
THAN THE GMS USUALLY MAKE.

lebyron nash was great for the one and done. he was top 3 high school out of dallas, had to stay all 4 years cuz he sucked. other wise he would of been a lottery pick

 

[Trapperman Dave]

They can just let 18 year olds either go through college or go straight to the G-League

 

[god shamgod]

I didn't even listen to the interview and assumed the nba was considering going back to letting cats declare for the draft straight from high school

That's my bad

The league plans on discussing the current one-and-done rule with the NBA Players Association over the next year with the hope of raising the minimum age for draft-eligible players from 19 to 20, Greg Logan of Newsday relays.

“This year, the projection is that we’re going to have 20 one-and-done players coming and actually being drafted. When we first changed the minimum age from 18 to 19, the following year in 2006, we had two one-and-done players. So my sense is that it’s not working for anyone,” Silver said.

Silver added that teams believe players coming to the professional ranks from college after just one season aren’t as well-prepared as they should be.
