The one and done is a huge downside for college basketball for me as well. They should simply allow the kid to sign a pro contract out of high school or commit to at least three years in college.

His choice either way.



Issue with that is it would make all the kids on the fence choose the NBA, like baseball but it would be worse because the socio-economic background of the players is not as strong on average. Tons of them would choose quick money for their families over risking injury over 3 years in college.

The NBA needs a minor league for a bigger sample size of their potential draft picks too. I think they should just make it mandatory 2 years removed from HS and be done with it.
