re: Rick Pitino: Let high school kids turn pro, one year of education is pointless

The problem is the NBA is so elite and few players have careers at all. It would be better to save these immature kids from themselves than to let them waste a potential better life after basketball.

It is really rare for guys who leave early to go undrafted.

And if they don't they can go play in the dleague or go make a bunch of money overseas.

Seriously I don't think it is a coincidence that this has suddenly become an issue when Kentucky is undefeated. Crazy how the narrative changes. When UK had fallen apart last season everyone was laughing at Cal because of the NIT and how they looked destined for a early exit from the NCAA tournament, now suddenly it is issue.

I am gonna stick with enjoying watching high level NBA caliber talent play CBB. Don't understand not wanting to see these guys play.
