NBA making plans to get involved at high school level, once again
So reading this story I think it’s an easy fix.
1. Make the age to enter the draft 17.
2. Allow players to go to college if they are not happy with draft position.
3. Add an extra round or two to the draft.
4. Use Add 4 or 5 more spots to the G league roster and add another two way contract roster spot to NBA teams.
This allows teams to draft and develop talent that is ready for the league. It doesn’t penalize kids for trying to go to the NBA as they can go back to college.

Rethinking Recent NBA Draft-Day Debates
The Sixers have a minus-5.8 net rating in the fourth quarter this season, which ranks ahead of only the tanking Grizzlies. Philly’s defense regresses, transition opportunities become minimized, and thus the player it uses about as frequently as Cleveland does LeBron becomes limited in the half court.
Not only does Simmons not shoot well, he struggles to draw fouls on drives to the rim. Simmons has drawn 42 fouls and taken 398 field goal attempts on drives, per NBA.com’s Second Spectrum, for a ratio of nine shots per foul drawn — the equivalent of J.J. Barea. Ingram is at a more efficient five shots per foul drawn — the same as DeMar DeRozan. LeBron is also at five shots per foul drawn, and James Harden leads the league at three shots per foul drawn. Simmons gets to the basket with ease in the regular season, but the fact he almost exclusively uses his right hand and sometimes shies away from contact leads to a suboptimal free throw rate for a 6-foot-10 bulldozer. What that means for his game in the playoffs is a big unknown, but the players he often gets compared to — LeBron and Giannis Antetokounmpo — are far superior in shooting and drawing fouls.
simmons v. ingram gonna be an interesting debate going forward.

there definitely is. Ingram is a year younger but growing fast. Ben Simmons hasnt made a three-pointer since high school, Ingram already showing potential as a 3-level scorer. Ingram continues to build his body and refine his skills he will be an elite well-rounded player. im not the only one that thinks this
I don't think they count people bootlegging streams
More nikkas watchin' a repeat of ncis than a dope basketball game?
He's hit zero threes. He doesnt even shoot them in shootaround.
