Message: [QUOTE="Rb335, post: 3929296, member: 2685"] I agree that players should have a choice, but by having that choice, they have the ability to make the wrong one. Yes, Bueckers could enter after this season and likely go #1, but I am skeptical how effective she would be in the W at this age. Those players are A LOT stronger, quicker, and experienced. Would she learn and grow and become an all WNBA type player, absolutely. But if players go one and done on the women's side, I think you would see fewer WNBA ready players from day one. Stewart is an example of a player who could have been one and done, but I'm not so sure how effective she would have been. By the time she left Connecticut, she developed into a player ready to play at close to MVP level from day one. The other side would be the diluted talent in the college game. Bueckers and Clark are going to be staples in the WCBB world until they graduate. If they left, that would be two superstar shoes that needed to be filled. You'd likely see a lot of mid-majors be more competetive by putting out more senior laden teams compared to the P5 schools with younger rosters. It would mimic more of what you see on the men's side with the issue being that the overall talent pool for women is smaller at this point. [/QUOTE]
