The NBA isn't getting finished products entering the league. In 1994, 1 underclassmen left really early and it was Jason Kidd who was a special talent nowadays 8 out of the 10 picks are Freshman/Sophomores and not many of them are contributing as rookies. The players have the right to leave early, but the NBA is having to develop these guys on the practice rather them playing in college.[/b] [/QUOTE]
