Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 2422323, member: 1646"] The impact will be interesting. And it probably won't be limited to what we expect. I don't see a big impact on the disbursement of talent. I think there will be hard decisions for kids going right to the NBA. But if they aren't ready, then they won't mind going to Duke/Kentucky/Kansas/UNC because they can't go after their first year anyway, so it's not a big deal to play behind the next sophomore on deck. In fact, it could lead to more top school dominance. There will be less quality to go around, and the top teams will get to keep their players for a couple years now. I wonder if there will be more of a push for even the best players to sign early. Currently a team just has to worry about a verbal commit going to another school, now they'd have to worry about a kid blowing up and bailing on college altogether. It could cripple a recruiting class. I think the real winner is the G League. If the NBA truly builds out the G League, you'll have a lot of talent that stops there for at least a little while. I can even see some teams stepping up their coaching budgets to bring in some true teachers (which they always say doesn't happen in the NBA). I'd look for a great college coach that just sucked at recruiting. [/QUOTE]
