The one-year-out-of-highschool rule for the NBA draft

I'm against the rule in principle, but I kind of agree. While the rule was only made to protect NBA owners from their own stupidity, it helps both leagues.

That being said, I wholeheartedly disagree with this:

That suggests that March Madness was something less than awesome in recent years. With Northwestern State, Bradley, George Mason, and Florida, this March Madness was anything but predictable. (Not that many are predictable.) And it's not like the talent level was anything to scoff at either. Again last year, it was the best three weekends in sport.

 

if they only would stay in school.

don't they have that thing in the NCAA where you can make yourself available in the draft, but go back to college if no team selects you, and you have not hired an agent?

 

I'm sure college coaches hate seeing their teams getting the "One-and-done" treatment but it is fun getting to see these guys play a year of college first before they go pro.

 

I am for it, but I sure wish it went into effect for this coming draft. If it hadn't been put into effect for this years draft we could have landed a top prospect in the draft.

 

yeah i like this rule too. it also can make kids who were potential nba leapers stay in college. seriously now "student"-athletes have the life made for them in college if they are the star player. They are probably several high school kids that can go from a top 20 pick to a top 10 pick from being in college for two years.
