You would think that the Players' Assoc. would support it.   It would end up providing some protection to their members that have proven that they actually belong in the league.   If you had more kids coming straight out of high school the owners would likely have to treat them more like developmental prospects and use the G league more heavily for players entering through the draft.

The players that go to college would be easier to evaluate and there would ultimately be fewer rosters spots given to guys who are never going to be good enough to help a team.   Those spots would stick with older guys that have proven that they can help, but are getting cut now so that teams can chase the potential a younger guy shows.

Count me in the group that doesn't think that the NCAA should allow itself to be used as a developmental league.   But, the NCAA and colleges are whores so they'll do anything that they think makes them money, hence we have the NCAA accepting the idea of the one and done.     And for those that say that it is an NBA rule and nothing that the NCAA can do about it, you are wrong.    The NCAA could develop its own rules that incentivize schools to stay away from prospects that have no interest in pursuing a college degree.
