One reason I wouldn't like a two-and-done rule is that it seems a little unfair for the careers of the truly talented. Like, if that kind of rule had been in place ten years ago, Lebron wouldn't have been able to be the youngest to reach 20,000 points. He would still be years away. Along those same lines, Wiggins is ready for the NBA now; if he hadn't reclassified, he'd still have to finish this year, then his senior year, then two years of college? Bleeeeehhhh
OT:
As some of you will remember, Ryan Harrow (UK PG) was pre-season being mocked around 15'ish. I've been pretty consistent that he is just too frail/weak to play a meaningful role in the NBA (backup, maybe). I still believe that.
I only wanted to give him some props as having been playing only behind Noel as UK's best player. He missed early season games with an illness .. but has returned playing better than I expected he would.
Last 6 games;
23pts, 4rbs, 4asts, 3stls
17pts, 5rbs, 3asts, 2stls
15pts, 2rbs, 8asts, 4stls
16pts, 4rbs, 4asts, 1stl
14pts, 3rbs, 2asts, 4stls
12pts, 3rbs, 4asts, 1stl
He has a 4:1 a/to ratio.

It's also unfair to NBA teams that millions of dollars based purely on potential. For every Lebron, there are 400 'others.'
I'm okay with whatever rule, but straight out of HS is really bad. Don't want to rehash that whole thing again, though.

Yeah, I've heard you discuss it before, and I agree with you overall. It would be sad for players like Wiggins, though.
Boring! Get better scouts or get out of the business!

I don't know about sad .. they're still multi-millionaires playing a game.
I've had a ton of ideas. One would be similar to Euro (kind of) where if a player wants to enter the draft, they can, and if they go in the lottery, they can come out. If they're not taken, they go back to college and the NBA team has the rights to the player at where they drafted them. Would make them think a little.. but not completely lock a stud from going early. I still think it should be one-and-done .. rather than straight from HS.

I know you say that in jest .. but it would be fine if the NBA team could really see what they're needing to see. Unfortunately, so much cbb plays zone (almost entirely) and coaches have such different playing style, play players out of their NBA position etc..

I'm feeling jesty today.

You have no idea.

A nice sequence by Smart:
Has anyone heard of a guy named Tony Mitchell? He plays for North Texas. I heard last year that he was good. Does anyone know who I am talking about?

Smart in high school:
I'm liking this guy more and more.
No, that is not who I am talking about. His name is Tony Mitchell.
