The NBA put that in place, because drafting HS kids proved risky for the clubs, who ended up with a lot of duds, and who would see players blossom just as their rookie contracts ended. The NBA wanted a longer period in college, it was the union that blocked that. My guess is that they are poised to do more with the D League, which has gotten stronger. They need to work it out with the union, but expect the NBA to push for a system where players drafted into the D League carry lower salaries and aren't eligible for free agency until a period of years after they are called up. Similar to baseball. They'd probably expand the draft another round at least as well. I think you can expect the overall talent level in NCAA basketball to decline. [/QUOTE]
