lol @ people acting like this is a big win. before it was put in place you had maybe 2-5 kids per draft go straight from HS to the pros, and one every 2-3 years that actually became a star (kobe, kG, dwight, bron, etc.), the population of kids this actually affects is so low, didn't matter either way whether they kept it or not.

Edit: here's the list...again, stop acting like one and done is the issue. the issue is no viable paid "development/junior" league

is one year of college improving the number of the players that become stars though? :francis:

there been plenty of bums/busts since this rule was implemented. all it's really doing is risking injury for players to do free labor to prop up college athletic revenue.

like i said, there are a handful of people who go straight from HS to the pros, one and done isn't the issue. most kids still need some league/play between HS and the NBA, and that's still mostly done thru college. they need a viable paid league between the two, removing one and done is some faux bone to throw complainers without actually doing anything to truly remove the free labor system of the NCAA
