🏀 No more NCAA one-and-done (most likely)

There's such a huge difference in the style of play... I'm a big fan of the dudes getting paid, legally, when possible... But if I had a stud I'd steer him the college route.

It's gonna be hard for a youngster to dominate those grown ass men who are trying to do you no favors. The top tier college coaches are going to be much better than a D League coach, and the 3 pt line is shorter in college. The offense will be geared more towards you as well. Just a better chance to truly "develop" for a year in college, and plus if you don't dominate you can always go back... up to 3 more years!

I'm assuming the kids that go G-league route give up any chance to go back to college... But if they were allowed to go back then it may be worth it.

No, once you lose that "amateur" tag because you were paid to play you lose college eligibility.

Honestly, I'm just glad this is giving guys a legit opportunity rather than that nonsense JBA league that Lavar Ball started just so his shitty sons have a place to play. There was a couple of kids that got really screwed over because they decided to give it a chance over college. One kid turned down a slew of scholarships and then got cut from the team, so they could make room for LaAngelo when he decided he wanted to play there (after he didnt get drafted) and not only that but he said that LaVar barely paid him a third of the salary his contract called for.

LOL! Yeah, I think Lavar's time is about up. I give him credit for trying to make the most of his opportunity at stardom but Lonzo is destined for an NBA bench role.

I agree though... Good opportunity for someone who needs the quick cash. And it may turn out to be a better route for development. But as of now I would send my kid to the bright lights of nationally televised games, with easier competition and great coaching. 125K nothing to sneeze at though!

IDK, I've been saying his time was up for like 2 years now and he always seems to come back like a cockroach or something. At least Lonzo is a player, the other two are just really bad. He really believed LaAngelo was gonna be a top 5 pick lmao

Personally, unless I had a kid that was a Top 10 type of talent I would want them to go to school and at least try to get a degree. We have too many stories of guys getting that quick fame and then fizzling out and being broke in 3-5 years.

Good riddance to him

A more veteran laden Kentucky team?

Yeah, the kind you have to develop and show leadership and not always the most gifted on the court.

You don’t think they are still going to get the best of the “rest”. Kentucky is still going to Kentucky.
