    If they really used the d-league properly, it would be a huge benefit to the league. They should let every graduate be elgible, but you cant playin the nba until you have finished 2 yrs of college or 1 yr of d-league. I think they could field enough teams with quality players in the d-league. Plus if truly ran properly, you could see how a guy can play against bigger,stronger players vs going against guys in college who cant even shave yet.

    I think teams are starting to use it, San Antonio does it right, but I think the CBA will need to be amended to get it fully up to speed.

    Players in years 1-4 should be eligable to be sent down and players coming off injury too.....

    Depends on if the college team is coached properly. But I'd be willing to bet on the college team, if only because from what I know of the D-League it's rosters are very very fluid.
