Message: [QUOTE="Consigliere, post: 2384636, member: 559"] Two major points: In MLB you can be drafted and still opt for college. Does the signing with an agent restriction still apply? If so it is apparently overlooked with “advisors “ acting as intermediaries. Second, the number of professional basketball slots within the US has expanded greatly in the past years. The D League used to be a handful of teams catering to those who were on the cusp of NBA talent and COULD not play college ball. The G League if today is much more robust and a true minor league with a TV contract and top players making close to NBA salaries. In short as viable an option as minor league baseball is. Add to this the roster expansion from 12 to 15 and ongoing discussions to grow that to 17 with players assigned to G League. The landscape is different than it was 12 years ago and will continue to evolve. The system needs to evolve with it. [/QUOTE]
