Adam Silver wants to bush the 1 & done

[The Don]

I agree with him . The talent has declined in the NBA period and I think that this has to do with it. They are learning the game as they go and lets not talk about the maturity factor. Cats like Damien Lillard and Norris Cole came in the league NBA ready because of their experience. And how many players come in and are out in a few years or dead broke after they retire? That's where the education comes in too.

Learning to be men are you retarded



You learn to become an NBA player in the NBA



CBB was better before the 1 and done rule

The 1 & done has done nothing for the NBA but keep veterans in the league longer than they should be

Who cares if college basketball was better other than NCAA stans?

The one-and-done rule makes the talent pool better every year. Imagine if Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, Karl-Anthony Towns, Derrick Rose, Devin Booker, Jabari Parker, Andrew Wiggins, Carmelo Anthony, John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, etc. were going to college for 3-4 years. Imagine guys like Lonzo Ball and Ben Simmons were still in college right now.

How has the one and done rule kept veterans in the league longer? Look at the FA's list look at all the veterans who are out of the league because they got phased out by young players. Guys like Monta Ellis would not be unsigned before the one and done rule.

No, talent has not declined at all. Norris Cole is not a good NBA player. For every Lillard, I can name a one-and-done who dominated and was ready for the league.

Players can always go back to school.

Why would those guys go to school tomorrow younger if we got rid of the rule?

They would’ve went straight to the league from High school

I’m saying CBB was better when that talent just went to the pros and the playing field was leveled for all the other Teams

Why Adam Silver is right for calling for end of ‘one-and-done’ rule



How the fukk can he change the rule because of curruption in college..you run the NBA, not the NCAA

Let the college game fix their own issues. Changing the rule wont stop players from being paid.

What yall think about this?

heard they were gonna make it like baseball the top highschool recuirts that dont go to college go to the d-league then they are eligible for the draft after one year

 

[tremonthustler1]

well adam silver claim the college system isn't working so set up your own system. i know what you mean tho


and i think if all the elite prospects played in the G League people would watch. But it'd be about development moreso than ratings. Like the minor leagues in baseball

Minor league anything gets their appeal off being inexpensive family friendly fun. It’s not built off of star power. In baseball you could be Mike Trout in AAA. All it will do is increase buzz when you get to the show, not cause to fiend for minor league coverage.

Here's a serious question....

If college does nothing, why aren't these players coming out better? Even by year 3 or 4, they still haven't taken that leap. I'm not talking about anomalies, I'm talking about the highly-touted freshman in college. They are fading away at an exponential rate.

And you also have to think, if they got rid of it....there are only <60 roster slots available each year. What about the rest of the basketball players? They will still go to college, and some of them will still be stellar players. for me, I'm about players being ready to play once you come in the NBA (there's room for some give and take) but if you're still harping on potential 3 years later, something is wrong.

Silver can do whatever he wants to the one and done rule through negotiations with the players union. The rule is enforced by the nba. It's in the CBA. He doesn't need the NCAA.

Changing the rule will get players that would get paid anyway legitimately paid, instead of getting paid under the table.

 

[Wacky D]

the one & done rule is better for the NBA than having players come str8 out of high school.

from simply a viewers' perspective, its better for the league. I don't think yall remember how ridiculous it became with all the no-name busts.
and it gives an automatic buzz to every NCAA season. that well was running dry after a while as well.

The NBA would be better off getting kids into their development pipeline earlier, before some college coach has had a chance to change their game or try to define who or what they are. It's not better for the league to have guys come in who have no clue how to play the game even though they went to college, it adds to the development time to have them waste a year of their careers in college. You'd still have good players coming out of college, but there's virtually no reason for prospects like Porter, Bagley and Ayton to spend 1 year in college.


The best young player in the NBA right now is a Greek born Nigerian who had no buzz coming in, the franchise player in NY is a Latvian kid nobody in NYC knew existed 5 years ago. The "buzz" is overrated, people will quickly recognize great players and latch onto them regardless of if they played and had buzz in college or not.


And lastly, a study was done and found that during the same time period, HS players were better and more productive than the guys who had come from college during the same window.

lowkey if it's the right player, people will watch. Take Lonzo Ball during preseason for example, every Laker game was crowded, along with multiple threads on the coli, due to the hype....

NBA needs to just go like soccer, and have academies and shyt. Cut this high school sports bullshyt.

They should do that, but to make sure they don't abuse it and just start tossing kids in the garbage left and right you put a limit on how many kids they can have in their academy, and they have to tutor and pay that kid until he's 21. The bulk of his money goes into a trust for him so his parents and relatives can't blow it all, and he won't count against the NBA salary cap until he plays an actual game for his team.

Teams would have a bidding war for this kid right now -

 

[Street Knowledge]

The draft is a necessary tool to field a competitive league

The draft was started in sports by owners to keep rookie salaries down. They don't give two fukks about parity or competitiveness. And how competitive is the league really? The lakers and Celtics have combined to win over 30 championships. We're going to have the same two teams in the finals 4 seasons in a row.

Imagine an 18 year old lebron james on the free market and the bidding war that would ensue?
