Cuban and Stern on College
Posted on 4/5/12 at 11:07 am
Posted on 4/5/12 at 11:07 am
Both Stern and Cuban want to get rid of the one-and-done rule and implement a 3 year college rule. Cuban also wants to expand the draft from 2 to 4 rounds and use the D-league much like minor league baseball. There was an earlier thread from a few months ago where I suggested that as well. What are the chances that this gets done, now that both the commissioner and now one of the more powerful owners have come out in support of the three year rule?

I'm thoroughly convinced that anything David Stern thinks is a good idea will end up being a bad idea.

The three year rule would make basketball on all levels better. It creates more parity in college as big time players won't all go to the same team and ride the bench. Also, the extra development will make players more pro ready.

I am 100% behind this

I'd be in favor of the current baseball rule. There's no reason for guys like Lebron to ever step foot on a college campus, but once someone decides to go to college a 2 or 3 year commitment should be perfectly reasonable

But its hard to say, that guy is a one-generational type basketball player and he WILL succeed in the NBA. You just don't know. And you can't have one guy go straight to the NBA and everyone else to college or elsewhere without someone getting their panties in a wad. And maybe it would've been a good thing for Lebron to go to college for a bit, maybe he would get some maturity that he has been lacking for a while now.

will they have the option of straight out of HS or 3 years in college like baseball?

These are more thoughts by Cuban and Stern. I see action happening after the season is over. But you have to understand, even in the MLB where players skip college, they still are 2-3 years away from playing in the pros. They have to prove their worth in the minors.

let's say the next blake griffin in college in his third year blows out his knee... when everyone knows he should have been playing those years in the NBA. fans are gonna feel cheated that players are stuck in college longer than they have to be. players who are too good for college ball will get bored with it.

Happens in both football and baseball. And there is a chance that same player might suffer that injury in the pros unless it is a total freak injury. People say that every year in football, that they should've left earlier and yet, they still have a phenomenal injury free season. Very rarely do they suffer a career ending injury. Ryan Broyles is someone last year who may have benefited leaving early, but he probably would've been a low draft choice.

What they really need to do is require at least 2 years of college and insist on certain classes. Most importantly, they should all have to complete a personal financial management class before being allowed to enter the draft.

as an idea, its fine, I just don't know if the DL is something that could be marginally profitable or just hemorage money, of course I think the lose money on the WNBA, so...

I would love to see this.
If this were to happen, I truely think that the mid-majors would lose their luster again. One of the things that helped them was the fact that guys were together 3-4 years, so they were more mature when it came tournament time.
