The other aspect in this discussion deals with projected lottery picks going back to school and increasing their draft stock the following year. It seems to usually go the other way. I mentioned Noah dropping by staying in school. Sullinger dropped a lot after his injury and Smart has hurt his stock this year by going back to OSU. Anyone with a better memory know of other probable lottery picks who climbed or dropped by going back to school?If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

Here's an idea:
Could the nba use the ncaa as a true farm league?
Players could be drafted but continue to play in the ncaa up until their fourth year at the franchise's discretion.
Players would only be paid half of their contract, it would count against the cap.
Team's would be allowed to maintain the rights over their players a little longer. For every extra year in college, an extra year onto the rookie contract, or something of the sort?
This will probably never happen, but it's an interesting idea.
EDIT: they might have to earn their full pay, to decrease the incentive to always leave players in the NCAA for a full four years. I think some kind of balance could be struck here that creates interesting decisions.Last edited by stooley; Tue Feb 11, 2014, 04:48 PM."Bruno?
Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.

Doesn't the NHL draft college players? Players can continue to play in the NCAA until they agree to sign with the team that drafted them. Can't see the NCAA allowing players that are being paid by pro teams to keep their eligibility, at least any time soon.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

I don't take any reference to slavery lightly or in jest but for a lot of those athletes it is pretty damn close. Or maybe Roman Gladiators might be a better comparison.
If players want to make money immediately, head to Europe like Brandon Jennings or go through the D-League like Rice did last year and Hairston is doing this year or without the NCAA fallout and take older T'Po's lead.
Those who are actually going to school to get a legit education, go for it. Those who are killing a year before the draft, go to the NBA D'League. Play in NBA rules. Make some coin (no matter how small). Realize how shitty professional basketball travel and accommodations can be so when you make the NBA you aren't an entitled little bitch who has a big wake up call coming after year 2 of your guaranteed contract.

Those hockey players don't have a choice, the NHL team doesn't have room for them on their roster. So the drafted 18 year olds stay in school longer to develop or go to Junior A, or the AHL once they are 20.
