Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 1348756, member: 1969"] I think the best compromise in the end will be a simple two and done. with a special NBA committee allowing 2-4 early entry players each year (Be it HS or Freshman). We have to remember who controls the NBA Draft -- the NBA. We can't think of a system that is best for us -- we can just hope for a system that makes it better for us. They don't fully care what is best for the NCAA - they may try to have something that is better for the NCAA to an extent as it is the key feeder and player development system. But in the end it is what is best for the NBA. They can make rules like a special committee. Players have tried to challenge draft rules before in all sports with restrictions without success so I doubt the NBA is afraid of restrictions The biggest objectives are: 1) Removing draft uncertainty as much as it can be removed... it will certainly always exist. 2) Maintaining the system with the NCAA whereby a full blown minor league system is avoided plus rookies get marketing from the NCAA before they even enter the league. The 1 and done seemed mutually beneficial at first. And the 1 and Done, has always been better for the NBA than the HS rule. It has separated some duds from the pack after 1 year.

The 2 and Done is a simple model that makes it much better for the NBA, has more college players who are actually stars entering the league. The early entry committee allows them to bring players they know will benefit the league (or appears its bottom teams) immediately. And for college fans it will provide the continuity that we need at this point -- not only for our own teams but for an entire NCAA perspective. Melo would still leave early (A committee early entry selection). And Waiters would leave as a soph which most were fine. Grant situations would still exist that still irk people/ But the one move that irked Syracuse fans the most was Tyler Ennis leaving. And that would be eliminated. And as an NCAA fan I would get to see these players more just as I was starting to know them in the conference season. This would pull some players away from the NCAA early still. And some may now be more convinced to never enter the NCAAA. But as a fan, to see the majority of top frosh as sophomore would be great. [/QUOTE]
