Following potential 2017 draftees...

This model will never fly with Silver and the owners. SO basically they're REMOVING the one-year restriction? The whole idea is to improve the quality of basketball being played by having incoming picks gain more experience. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Silver model was to make everyone play at least 2 years of college ball. And for those that didn't want to attend college (or stay 2 years), the D-League would be expanded and the salaries increased to make it a decent alternative - still not great pay but at least enough to survive on until those players became draft eligible.

If I were Silver, I'd want these kids to go to a COLLEGE for as long as possible. Primary reason being two-fold.

a) Teams can better evaluate

but MOSTLY

b) These players would drag more collegiate fans into following NBA

I think a 2 year rule would help both the college and NBA game. It would spread out the talent to other teams. Teams like Duke/Kansas/UK reload every year. Well just think this year's crops most likely would go to other schools because they don't want to be sitting behind the Parker, Randle, Embiid. Sure some kids still want to go to the big programs but I think the talent would be more spread out. It helps the nba because kids are better prepared and more mature (hopefully) with two years under their belt. As it was mentioned before, it also gives the NBA a better chance to evaluate a kid.

Personally, I just wish they would make it at least to their junior year. I know we can't stop people from wanting to earn a living. I think that if a kid doesn't want to go to school at all then he should be able to enter the league.
