So you can only be considered "impactful" or a good rookie if you make the Allstar game over well established vets?

NBA has become a kiddy league. They def should go back to the old days and make these kids stay in college.

I never like the arguments that act like outliers are the norm. We always hear about Kobe, Garnett, James, Howard etc, that came straight to the NBA and we just assume that "hey, it's a good thing, look at these guys". How many players do we not hear about that flopped miserably because of an early exit from College Basketball or going straight from HS?

No but is a gauge of how much you can come in and change the course of a franchise on day one.

I'd be fine with the baseball system.

Applying the college baseball rules will kill college basketball's relevance. They'll never do it.
Can't hurt college basketball any worse than the one and done rule. I know the NBA isn't under any obligation to care, but a baseball type system can't be any worse.

the 19 year old age limit has been a tremdous success for the NBA.
What needs to change for college basketball, is actual on the court rules.

The best players only going to college for one season is better for college basketball than the best players not going to college at all.
I think something needs to be done about the current system, but I don't think the baseball system will work for basketball.

i'd hate to hurt guys like dion waiters, victor olidapo, otto porter, alex len, KCP, burke, harrison barnes, and terrence ross, have to wait another year just b/c people believe it would help them

If a player is good enough to play they should be able to...regardless of age.

how many 1st rounders who stayed in college 3-4 years flopped in the NBA? answer: a lot
way back when, most of the high school guys who weren't drafted in the 1st couldn't go to a real college anyway, so they just threw their name in hoping a team would use a 2nd on them to make a rorster
even "busts" like stephen jackson, tyson chandler, desagna diop, eddie curry, etc stayed around for a while and made some money
Ndudi Ebi was a rare completely bust from high school. college wouldn't have solved his issues, though

The three point line needs to be extended out. The "closely guarded" rule, widening the lane to NBA size, 8 second backcourt violation. I'd also argue for the touching of the ball on/above the cylinder, but that's a FIBA rule that I hope the NBA adopts soon(which I think they will).
Regardless of my last suggestion, these rules would bog the college game down less, and adapting to these rules would make college players better prepared for the pros.

call more fouls and stop the mugging
8 second half court clock (like the NBA)
fewer timeouts
adopt the NBA's zone D rules and eliminate the true zone

Calling him rare is ridiculous.There are plenty of busts from the prep era. Also the sample size of the prep era is much tinier than 3/4 year college guys being busts, so the ETA: point is invalid.

how many didn't get a 2nd contract? that's a true bust, to me
and i mean legit guys...not the guys who couldn't qualify for college and had no other option

i'm talking about 1st rounders, not just random 3-4 year players
