breh, we're talking 1-5 kids....who are "forced" to college for a year. for the umpteenth time, this fixes nothing in the grand scheme of NCAA being a free farm system/kids basically being forced to go thru the NCAA
Yeah, the few players this rule affects end up getting paid anyway. This does nothing for all of the other players.

I'm not even convinced that colleges want the one and done rule more than the :flabbynsick: guys in the players union who are trying to keep their roster spot for an extra year.

exactly, i'm a big proponent of paid transitional leagues being the path to the NBA and NFL in particular. let kids play there 1-4 years, have their shot at getting drafted. if they don't, then let colleges recruit them/do the scholarship thing. they will have made a little money from their talent and people who know the league isn't in their future will take that educational opportunity more seriously. no one will give a fukk if the starting DE is 23 instead of 20, or if the starting PG is 21 instead of 19.

The Soccer/Hockey system is great.

I still say let the young brehs go to the G league first they way nba teams can gauge the bust potential if it’s there or not and after a year in the G league they eligible for the nba draft

We don’t need the Olewankandis and Kwame Browns being #1 draft picks

Olowokandi was a 4 year college player. Which is just further proof that however long you go to college, if at all, doesn’t guarantee shyt. Busts will never be prevented regardless of what eligibility rules are in place

Okay well let those 1-5 kids get drafted and get paid ASAP because they deserve it :what:

And if the other kids still have to go to college then so be it, but let's not put limitations on them for no reason and force them to do a year :scust:

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

In reality out of the 100’s of kids that have been one and done how many have actually transcend to super star status, or at the very least a contributor, not many because we can name a few can’t miss that if they were trying to throw a tic tac in the ocean would still miss, a lot of these kids so used to gunning, they hardly have a skill to fall back on when now suddenly they aren’t the only 6’7 nikka or them grown men start bodying they 200 lb skinny selves

It’s cool they lifting the rule, but foolishly kids will thick they got the juice and forgo college and end up jettisoned out the league in 3 years

Some of these kids need to learn a structured offense/defense, some basic skills ( i remember coach cal said he forced Anthony Davis to develop dribbling skills or something, because he used to always shoot, the point being some coaches recognize weaknesses and force you to develop) hell put on weight, develop post moves, grown into their damn bodies

Is the ncaa the best option, no, but it’s the only one currently
