Hadn't seen it posted here.
The whole team? How did they not make the tournament? Coach must be really badThe player or the team?
I've seen him as high as late first on some mock drafts. I think he's probably a second, personallyPC's Duke declares for NBA Draft
The Friars star guard announced on Friday that he has hired an agentwww.providencejournal.com
Isn't he a projected 2nd round pick? Friend of mine who is a PC fan texted me that he's projected to go in the 1st round.
Wait until the foreign players no one's ever heard of are added.With all these players receiving info about being first round picks, we'd think the NBA has 60 teams.
I want guys to go to Europe or the G league. In fact I waa was by guys who are talented enough to go to the NBA right from high school and I want a more extensive G league. And I want the NCAA to make it hard on schools that regularly have kids leave early by making scholarships unavailable until a kids class would graduate. Let kids who want to play college basketball play college basketball and guys. Hi want to be pros be pros.I assume David.
This is more evidence these kids just aren't that interested in the product that is college basketball. I'm sure there will be those who claim Duke isn't ready. He needs to develop more. Just like many say about Bouk. They are probably right.... but i don't think it matters. As I said, many of these kids are just not interested in the product that is college basketball.
I don't blame them. The demands on a college athlete are very high. None of us could do it (or almost none).
My comment bleeds into the new transfer rules, paying players and many of our conversations that are moderately controversial. Its fine if you don't like the new transfer rules. It's fine if you don't want to pay the athletes. You want things to stay the same.... that's cool. Just be prepared for kids to look for other avenues. Like the G League, or Europe.... or just leaving college entirely too early.
And 75 lottery picksWith all these players receiving info about being first round picks, we'd think the NBA has 60 teams.
Like that every year. I think NBA teams mislead kids because they want as many players in the draft as possible.With all these players receiving info about being first round picks, we'd think the NBA has 60 teams.
The team been playing by NBA recruiting rules for decades.The player or the team?
"And I want the NCAA to make it hard on schools that regularly have kids leave early by making scholarships unavailable until a kids class would graduate." This. Been saying it for years, would get CBB back to the way it was before the one and dones.I want guys to go to Europe or the G league.

You gotta get those kids off your lawn first"And I want the NCAA to make it hard on schools that regularly have kids leave early by making scholarships unavailable until a kids class would graduate." This. Been saying it for years, would get CBB back to the way it was before the one and dones.
No. You just need to get the NBA to cut the crap and draft kids out of high school.You gotta get those kids off your lawn first
I think most people agree on that. But trying to be punitive about kids leaving early seems crazy. Unless the thought is to have all kids with aspirations of playing pro prior to graduating playing in some other forum...which would be a huge chunk of the talent and nearly all of any future NBA talentNo. You just need to get the NBA to cut the crap and draft kids out of high school.
Fine. College basketball will be better. And there will still be NBA talent. This is not supposed to be the G league. It is supposed to be college basketball. Some people have lost sight of that over the past decade especially.I think most people agree on that. But trying to be punitive about kids leaving early seems crazy.
