One-and-done coming to an end

[Magnanimous]

In response to the FBI scandal and the fact that the last two #1 picks weren't marketing themselves on NCAA tournament teams, Adam Silver is beginning to get the ball rolling on changing the rule.

Would be the best thing for college basketball and well NBA in general. Of course it depends on how exactly they do it

The baseball rule would be perfect.The NBA players union would probably fight it though.

yeah most definitely. I think it should be, once you finish high school. You've either have to attend college for 2 years or go to the G-League for 2. just my 5 cents

For a college football or baseball player to be eligible for each respective draft, said player has to be in college for at least three years. I've never understood why basketball isn't the same. Maybe it finally will be

You would think that football and baseball players, owners, executives, and etc would all be throwing a fit to have same rules for their leagues. I understand that they are 2 complete different animals but still...

Players should be allowed to go pro whenever they want to.

How about bringing back freshmen ineligibility?

Oh god I hope not 

[maharkn]

Send the top ten players ( because those are going to be the ones that want to go) and send them to the g league for a year

Free market baby! Agree completely.

(I also understand that private businesses can legally and appropriately choose to do the wrong thing and ignore free market principles.)

Cal's opinion on the matter.

There should be a place for them to play; but young players are damaging to the league because there are VERY few high school kids (maybe 1 or 2 every year) ready for the NBA, so they end up developing there rather than helping there; and so many of the lower level teams can never keep them.  Thus, teams like the Timberwolves, 76ers, Kings, etc will end up as developmental teams for those which consistently attract free agents.  Kids who come to the NBA out of high school are generally entering their second contract at age 21 or 22; and as we've seen with Noah Vonleh, talented does not necessarily mean "NBA ready" no matter how old a kid is when he gets there.

Letting high school kids go directly to the NBA solves the problem on one level and creates more on other levels.   I have been a proponent of a true minor league for the NBA similar to those in baseball and hockey, and remain so.  

Edit : The one and done rule has been horrible for college basketball.  I'm glad that's coming to an end, and I hope a true solution can be found that truly takes into account the best interests of kids.

I disagree, it's not "ignoring" the free market, it IS the free market. Most, if not virtually all professions have requirements to enter them. Using age/experience is a valid one and certainly not arbitrary. If some outside organization (govt) regulates, that is anti-market. Allowing the business (NBA) to set their own rules is the way to go.

Besides no one is saying these kids can't go pro in some other country if they want.   

 

I disagree with your post...because I think we largely agree.

Thanks for sharing, Olivia. It's not often I'm in agreement with Cal, but he has some valid points that he feels would eliminate the monetary cheating.

Top ten? Do you realize how many underclassmen make themselves eligible for the draft every year? What was it this past year? Around 50 or so?

[Magnanimous]

Players should also be allowed to get drafted and go back to college if they aren't a first rounder.

[Magnanimous]

Also the NBA should get rid of four teams, shorten the regular season to 60 games, and get rid of the first round of the playoffs.

My bad I was talking about the high school seniors

If they want to go, let them. If they don’t want to, they won’t. You can’t hold them back from what they want to do because “they might not develop”. Ultimately, they own the glidepath of their own life.
