Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 2194214, member: 874"] There were a bunch more guys declaring straight out of high school that had no business doing so before one and done. Teams were taking flyers on some because it was less damaging to make a mistake than possibly pass on the next Lebron. One and done exposed some of them and a 2 or 3 year rule would probably do it even more accurately. How many times do players that stay in school get ridiculed on here because they should've jumped before getting exposed. That's great advice for the player, but the NBA wants every opportunity to expose them so they can increase the odds of making good picks. Lydon wasn't considered a 1 or 2 year and done prospect out of HS. If he's made himself into a first round pick that means other previously higher rated prospects dropped. That wouldn't have happened without a year or two of evaluation in college. [/QUOTE]
