I'm with you 100 percent. People don't realize at the most 4 or 5 guys are not playing college basketball per year. Big dogs will still eat, and we'd have our great players for longer than one year.

Yep. I enjoyed Collison, Hinrich, Collins, Chalmers, Rush and Robinson more than I did one year of Wiggins, Embiid, Jackson and Oubre.

College basketball will benefit from this. No question about it.

Just shot the shit for a minute. And our love of college sports

It's kind of crazy when you think about guys like Diamond Stone (Maryland) and Stephen Zimmerman (UNLV), both top 10 recruits, who have combined for 26 career NBA games and neither one has played in the league since 2017. Those guys could be seniors right now. Then you have other would-be seniors in the likes of Marquese Chriss (Washignton), Henry Ellesnon (Marquette), Malachi Richardson (Syracuse), and Skal Labissiere, all whom are struggling mightily in the league. Not sure any of those 4 former OADs will last much longer. Would be nice to have guys like that play in college for another year or two.

and how much do you pay for those Nike shoes. my shoes used to last 2 years minimum. hmmm 10 dollars per year,

I said I pay $70-90 a pair usually. Although occasionally I can find a pair I like on sale for $50-60. Those are jackpots haha

I would think the NBA owners would be cringing at this. It'ld be better to raise the age a year or 2, or implement the baseball type rules. I don't think the player's union will accept this.

the Baseball rules allows players to be drafted right out of HS then if they don't sign a agent and are not happy with where they are drafted can go to college but can't be drafted again till they turn 21 or their HS school has been out for 3 years.

even then those kid get sent to their farm clubs, before they see the majors.

the problem is Baseball has 7 rounds [I believe as I don't follow baseball that close] maybe I am thinking of FB that has the 7 rounds.
baseball has 3 levels for them to put players, some even have the lower level farm leagues.
