SVG: One And Done Rule Is Racist

[Barnett114]

Btw, in baseball can't you get drafted and still play college ball?

You can in the NBA too.

The key is not signing with an agent or a pro contract.

Once you sign with an agent or that, you lose NCAA eligibility.

 

[hayesc0]

Yep this along with many white people being so strongly against college players getting paid is clearly racist imo.

His name is Steve Shakerr.

Same guy who named his son Nick knowing his last name is Kerr

Waiting for Cac's like @staticshock to find something wrong with what he said

Static is white?

Dont be ignorant and uninformed.

How is the rule racist?

Ill prove my point you got dudes like jonathan isaac one and done drafted 6 and in the d league.

Very rarely you get a lebron kobe or kg out of high school but 98% of the time you getting a kid that isnt ready. If he develops his game until he 21 he could drastically reduce his chances of being a bust.

Instead these kids rushing to the league where they dont even play.

People bring up the $$$ and helping they family. But what kinda money they making in the dleague and how is dleague money helping they family?


The rule aint racist the rule is there to get guys to develop and figure out their future instead of trying to rush to the league with no backup plan

If a player isn't ready...you don't HAVE to draft them

 

[CrimsonTider]

Nah certain big time players bring in viewers. You don't think damn near every Duke game won't be nationally televised because of that recruiting class for next year? NCAA needs big names, even if it's just for 1 year

Nah, people are tuning in for the Jersey.

You don’t need pro proespects in college for viewership, you need rivalries and teams that play together for years

This is why the 1 and done rule has damaged CBB beyond repair

You can address him as Nicholas and it is still better name then calling him, Wayne.

Obviously the NCAA don't believe in that or they never would've made the rule. People ain't trying to see teams like Rhode Island pass the ball for 28 seconds every possession to try to get the perfect shot

I'll be honest. From a pure basketball/NBA standpoint, I got no problem with an age limit. In fact, I wouldn't have an issue with it being 21. Most of these kids coming into the league simply aren't ready and take mad long to develop, and just from a fan's perspective I'd rather ready made players come in. The NBA is a private enterprise, so let them do whatever the hell they want.

There is no age where a player is "ready."

On top of that, there is evidence that shows HS players actually became good players more than senior players over the last 20 years.

Agreed. I think the rule was racist, but it did have a solid economic foundation for the reasoning. League was losing a lot of money paying high schoolers who didn't pan out.

The NBA was not losing money over HS players not panning out. They panned out more than their counterparts

David Aldrige wrote an article detailing this 6 years ago that the NBA took off the website because it was so real.
http://www.nba.com/2012/news/features/david_aldridge/04/09/morning-tip-nba-draft-age-limit-debate/

Here is a summary from another site that had the numbers breakdown:
Statistics actually show in favor of the rule, pointing out that the restriction actually protects some young athletes from making a grave mistake by jumping into the NBA. In the article, “Altruism far down on list of motives for NBA’s age limit”, David Aldridge (2012) lays down the stat line for success of the high school players who entered the league before the rule, and the one-and-done athletes after the rule.

That’s 14 busts, out of 47 players. Thirty-three borderline NBA players, professionals, stars, or superstars out of 45 is a .723 “success” rate for high schoolers. Or, more than seven in 10 high schoolers who came in the league from 1995 to 2005 either had a little or a lot of success, and made either a decent living or a ridiculous one. (Aldridge, 2012, par. 58) That means 40 of the 49 “one-and-done” players – 81.6% — were drafted. And, of those 40, only three – Crittenton, Gallon and the star-crossed Oden – are currently not either in the NBA or in the NBA D-league. Durant, Love and Rose have become superstars; many others, from Irving and Wall and Conley to Derozan and Gordon and Hawes, are solid starters for their respective teams, most of the remaining players are solid rotation guys. (Aldridge, 2012, par. 67)

That is just one and done. The HS players had even better numbers. His theory was, a) the best HS players tend to not need college as they are the most NBA ready. b) the NBA wasn't worried about HS players draining the league's talent pool, but instead those young players getting an extra contract because they will be in the league longer.

Why are you going to extremes? People cared more about Duke when they had junior senior laden teams more than they care about these recent Duke teams

Think about what you're saying from a logical perspective. Of course there's evidence that shows that... because if you're coming straight from high school (or have that opportunity/ability) it means you were a better player or had higher potential in the first place than the guy who went four years. Nobody is staying in college because they WANT to, they're doing it because their skills necessitate it. Do you think the players who succeeded right out of high school would have been worse players or had lesser careers (outside of the obvious possible longevity difference) had they entered the league at 21 as opposed to 18?

And of course there isn't an arbitrary age where you're "ready", because everyone is different, but using that logic, why not just let in kids who are 13 if teams are willing to draft them? There's a greater chance of players being ready at 21 than 18, that's just a fact. Players generally speaking get better as you age, gain experience, and physically mature until you plateau.

This is a got damn lie do not believe this fakkit.

He’s trying the old say it so many times till people believe you tactic.

@Stick Up Kid ill slap the fukk outta you nikka keep trying me

 

[Tha Gawd Amen]

Isn't the rule a NBA rule and not a ncaa rule? Didn't the nbapa sign off on it?

This is an NBA rule which a lot of NBA players actually support because they don't want to lose their veteran minimum spots to youngins.

I'm confused about that little snippet you posted. From that it looks like Aldridge is saying one and done success rate is better than out of high school, but not that much better, and he's also saying that they made up that excuse.

Very interesting theory either way. If true then the rule was indeed racist as I originally said.
