Or, if the NBA would go back to drafting high school players, then much of the 'one and done' mess would disappear.  And, if that happened, coaches might be a bit more cautious pursuing Top 10 talent.  On the other hand, it appears that the NCAA is addressing this matter.  Supposedly, the rule forcing kids to declare so early for the draft is being modified.  Furthermore, I understand that prospects can test the 'draft waters' a bit more thoroughly, and if they learn that they probably won't go in the draft, then they can return to their college teams.  I imagine this is going to create no small amount of angst for college coaches, but I imagine it is a step in the right direction.  At least the kids can get an opinion from someone reasonably unbiased, and not a close friend, relative, or AAU functionary with vested interests.  When you look at those players in Europe, who should still be on college teams, you have to wonder what sort of advice they were getting, and from whom they were getting it.  Of course, there will always be those who have no desire to go to class and will look for any other credible option.
