College basketball analyst Jay Bilas is proposing the NBA adopt a new rule similar to Major League Baseball: Let high school seniors enter the draft, and require players that go to college stay for a few years.
With 13 freshmen entering the NBA Draft this season does the "Sporting World" believe college basketball is becoming a pit stop or a poor man's minor league for the NBA?
Bilas is suggesting the NBA develops a rule where kids have the option to go straight to the pros or go to college for two years instead of one.
Seems good on paper right? The NBA teams get a longer period to evaluate the players, the players get a chance to hone their skills instead of sitting at the end of the bench night in and night out, and the colleges get their star players to market.
But would Kevin Durant, Greg Oden, or Kevin Love go to college for two years instead of going to the NBA when it they could go pro?
Good idea? Agree? Disagree? Have a different idea to solve this issue?
