Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 2517554, member: 652"] NBA isn’t creating an academy. It’s too much money. There are only 5-20 players a year that would go from HS to the NBA. Let them get paid. Just make it like baseball. You give those kids a signing bonus and Little salary on 2-way contracts. That would allow the kids who don’t want to play college basketball you go to the minors and work your way up. It will be like baseball prospects. They will be overhyped and fans will follow their teams own prospects but won’t watch the games. Kids who don’t declare go to college for a minimum of 2 years and college basketball becomes filled with more cohesive teams and can increase its own quality and the tournament is still a moneymaker. Both NBA and College basketball win. [/QUOTE]
