Message: [QUOTE="Greedo, post: 4119980, member: 9992"] To me, this whole thing seems fine for top 10 recruits that would find their way into the NBA no matter what. But for the others I’m skeptical that this will give them the necessary coaching and exposure to get into the NBA or a good league in Europe. Based on this article it seems like they’re more interested in generating highlights and flashy plays for their media presence than coaching these kids and teaching them good defense to truly prepare them for the NBA. It will be interesting to see over the next 5-10 years how NBA scouts evaluate the kids coming out of this program and if they think they’re worth taking a shot on. I just hope they’re not taking the short term $100k when they could be making millions after receiving more coaching and exposure at the college level. Just because they have NBA names and rappers involved doesn’t mean they’re getting coached the right way. [/QUOTE]
