Should the NBA allow high school kids again

[rlsmooth775]

I think they should

[IncarceratedBob]

I don't see why not, if they're ready they're ready. Parker and Wiggins would have been all stars this season

well that's just not true at all

[Xiao Yao You]

They need a minor league system. The problem is too many guys taking roster spots of better players based on potential.

Would you rather see Andrew Wiggins in the league or Jason Collins?

That's racist bro

Mark Cuban has advocated the same thing. He wants a better D-League so that kids can go there to get NBA simulated experiences.

[ThePhantomCreep]

Ah, the racist age limit rule. Nobody bats an eyelid over child actors, teenage tennis players, or the countless kids in the minor league system who've never spent a day in college, but black teenage millionaires in the NBA? That's just wrong.

[JohnFreeman]

I think if the person has the talent, let them play.

[ABfor3]

I don't get why they force upon a rule that they have to be a certain age to enter, why make them go to college and take scholarship money from somebody who really wants to pursue an education because they're just gonna leave after a year anyways

[deja vu]

Sure, why not? Make it similar to soccer where they start them young.

This would be the best solution

If Wiggins is good enough for the league I'm fine with it. Need a minor league system for those that want to get payed and/or don't want to go to school to play. The league has been watered down. Most players used to play 4 years of college. Most that went pro early played at least 3 years. A lot different when most guys only play one year. College should be for student athletes not basketball players.

[Clyde]

Noooooo.

A minimum of two years of collge is on the horizon, and the NBA will be better with it.

And the NCAA is gonna have to start paying the athletes, and college will be better as well.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Should have to stay 2 years if they go to college or straight out is the best compromise, imo. Maybe something like, if you go to the dleague or Europe then you only need to stay one year. Would help build the popularity of the dleague, which I think the NBA has been trying to do. Similiar to juco for baseball. An adaption of the MLB rule, without the drafting rights thing.

Can't believe some on here still think the one and done benefits college basketball. :facepalm

“If I were involved with the NBA I wouldn’t want a 19-year-old or a 20-year-old kid, to bring into all the travel and all the problems that exist in the NBA. I would want a much more mature kid. I would want a kid that maybe I’ve been watching on another team and now he’s 21, 22 years old instead of 18 or 19, and I might trade for that kid. On top of it all, the NBA does a tremendous, gigantic disservice to college basketball. It’s as though they’ve raped college basketball in my opinion.

Interesting read from a few days ago. Perspective from both sides from current NBA players.

“If I could do it over again, I would go to school,” said Webster, who had committed to the University of Washington before going sixth overall to Portland. “I think guys should go to college. It’s a social void that you’ll never be able to replace.”

People mistaking horrible posters for trolls

It will be a loooong time before thar happens.

[ILLsmak]

well that's just not true at all

lol yea that's just some dumbshit. But they could have got some burn.

Edit: But I am not for forcing people to go to college at all. It's pretty wack that the NBA did this and it almost seems like it's a violation of rights.

It's def borderline on some 'union shit.'

Makes no sense.

:oldlol:

From what i've read about what Wiggins did in college this year, he woulda had a hard time scoring above 10 ppg in the NBA this year.

Yeah it's not because NCAA generates huge revenue.
White kids are forced to go to college too. Oh yeah I forgot, whites don't ball.
It's racist I tells ya!
