Tell me why my idea is stupid-NBA should get rid of the draft and have to recruit incoming rookies

It works all over the damn world.It would work in the NBA:comeon:.All the young talent would not accumulate in 3-5 teams.Institute a "homegrown rule" if necessary.

For example ,Southampton has one of the best academies in the world but they're nowhere near a dominant soccer power in Europe or England .

Let NBA teams start academies/ U-17 teams to identify the star talent early . It's a win win.Players will be introduced to the best coaching at a much younger age ,can get compensated and NBA basketball would be better for it .

Throw the NCAA and AAU in the bushes

Feds might not give em a choice :mjgrin:

And what could the NCAA really do to stop them ? If the NBA announced tomorrow that all NBA teams will start basketball academies the NCAA would be fukked .

Go train with NBA approved coaches and get compensated :hula:Play in the AAU/NCAA for nothing while they get rich

The NCAA can never get thrown in the bushes because fans who watch college basketball follow the SCHOOLS more than the prospects.

You're talking about potentially 30 academies compared to 330 Division 1 schools. Someone's bound to rise up from the NCAA.

i'd like to see the ncaa burn as much as the next one, but school branding alone is an industry

That's true and once they turn 18 the kids that aren't deemed good enough to step up to play big boy basketball or not worth the time to develop in the G league can go play in college :yeshrug: just like they do in the MLS.

NCAA wouldn't be wiped out because every kid in my hypothetical NBA academies wouldn't make the league .We're talking about maybe 1% of those kids being ready to make the jump to NBA ball at 18 /19 years old.A few more may be ready for G-League.Let em play for their teams G-League affiliate if they choose so.Those kids that wash out of academies can go ball in the NCAA. Hell NCAA product would be better

There's a difference between the MLS and the NBA. It's mostly culture. Part of why soccer isn't bigger in America is because we're not the best at it and the best league is overseas. Another issue is simply that education and their structures are different than ours. The only way an academy would work is if you can prove that those kids are getting the same education as those overseas because even in academies where they zone in on the sport, those kids are generally smarter than American kids.

People keep bringing up how teams can hand pick their roster... NOT exactly. A young team don't really win. It usually PRIME players that dominate the league(Which is gonna be about 3-4 years to reach their prime). Plus, roster spot limitations, team building, and cap space. They can load up on young talent, but then you have to be worrisome of the high bust rate of NBA stars. It's dumb for a team to go all in on this method for team building. Also, this can really cripple a team and fanbase if they are stuck with a bad prospect. AND half the teams in the NBA can't scout for shyt.

Young teams don't win. Correct. Young talent among veterans develop faster. Therefore, if you're already good, you'll always be able to replenish your talent pool. A team, like say, the Spurs, would never have to rebuild, because they'd have their pick of the litter.


It's like saying, would you rather have a snake draft or an auction draft

When kids go to Barcelona to train at La Masia they still get their education.When kids go off to Brandenton here in the U.S they still get their education.No reason to think that NBA teams couldn't set up the same type of situation here.It would also force NBA teams to invest in their communities on a recreational level .

I remember a kid got drafted straight outta IMG, but the reason why he was even there was because his grades were terrible (Ricky Sanchez was his name)
