Annual Reminder that College Basketball is a trash product

[Buckeye Fever]

North western and florida have a halftime score of 19 to 20 in a regional playoff game

People will try to argue defense is at play

Oh, they will argue that shyt to the death

It is the worst of offense and coaching, mixed with a bunch of players lacking skill

I wouldn't go all four, but I'd say at least two years. At least you can see what you got in a guy rather than waiting 4 years in the league just to see if he can actually contribute. And I know guys skate on potential all the time, but to me there is a higher chance you can see what you got in a guy faster if he's got at least two years playing college ball. Don't have any stats or anything to back that statement up, just my personal opinion. Then again, it's all a crap shoot regardless.

Some of the biggest busts of all-time were guys who played multiple years in college. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what the age limit is, bad GMs will make bad picks. I think the problem with NBA draft discourse is too often fans/media try to scapegoat anything but the ones who are actually making the personnel decisions

Good point, I agree with that. I forgot where I heard it but I heard on someone's podcast that sometimes it's hard to convince an owner as a GM to pick who you really want vs who the owner sees in mock drafts. I feel a lot of it is pressure from owners because they seen these mock drafts and wonder why their GM isn't going along with the get along, so to speak. Guys get hyped in the mocks which influences bad moves in the draft in a lot of cases.

I always think of that video of the Kings draft room where the owner made them pick Nik Stauskas in the lottery because he watched a YouTube video of him hitting a bunch of 3s in his backyard

Classic

But that just illustrates the point, the Kings during that time were so poorly ran that most years it didn't matter whether they drafted a one & done player (Marvin Bagley, Ben McLemore) or a 2-4 year college player (Thomas Robinson, Stauskas, Jimmer Fredette) you knew they were gonna fukk it up

Most of these players are low 70s OVR

Can't expect NBA 80-95s

Look at Houston’s last possession. Didn’t I tell you that you can’t trust College Guards to make the right play.

Bug go ahead and keep telling me that the college product is better than the NBA
