    So these kids we have never seen or heard of (if not a recruiting junkie) will spend one year at college where nobody watches anymore then be an anonymous top draft pick no one has seen and will sit on the bench to become a man so they can actually play in the NBA by the time they are even more long forgotten

    Wonder what happened to college basketball?

    Spare me the kids need to be paid - they are. But is it really in the best long term interest of either business? You either need to go to 2 or 3 years or 3 years with a straight out of high school option for the rare LeBron James or the Duke kid.

    Kids get paid in college too and I am hearing that college is so valuable it needs to be free.
    Adam Silver has openly mentioned the idea of “commit to 2 years of college, 2 years of D League, or enter the draft right away” idea. Which I think will give kids all the best conceivable options.

    Then it becomes up to the college coaches to convince the kids that the development/education they’ll get in college is worth more than D League minimum salary.

    They will be even less known in the D league

    College builds a brand. I'll pay attention to Zion because he is dominating the college level this year.

    Yup, you probably would get a better shoe deal with a company if you played college ball instead.

    Fuck the D-League forever. NOGAF about that shit league.

    If some people had their way college football would give way to a minor league that NOGAF about. Bus rides and high school fields with no Coach Feld to pump you up

    If you go to a blue blood basketball school you can get an education if you want and you will get great facilities and coaching and have time to become a man.
