Question for NBA fans.
I am an NBA fan as well, but a bigger college bball fan? It looks they're bringing prep to pros back.
Some of you may be old enough to remember every period of the NBA/college hardship history.
Basically, guys used to stay in college 3 to 4 years, depending on their personality. Remember, Shaquille O'Neal stayed 3 years. Then those f@ckers Kobe and Garnett screwed everything up. Then we had prep to pros and then sometime in the 2000s, we went to one-and-done.
No kids care about playing NCAA ball right now, when it used to be an honor.
Of course, they could bring all that back with the NFL hardship type requirements. The options are...
1) NFL type system. Players need to stay for 3 years and have college develop them. By the time they go the pros, they will be good enough to be NBA All-Stars their first year. This is the way it used to work ... on the regular.
2) Prep-to-pros. Self explanatory.
3) One-and-done. What we have now. One year away from high school and then you're eligible.
You can comment on what you think is 'right' but more interested in what you think as a fan and how it affects the quality of the pro game.
