I think this development sucks.

Sorry if I'd rather see talents like LeBron and Kobe in a Kentucky or Duke jersey for a year  than riding the pine in the NBA or even worse playing in the G league or even playing in the NBA.  I don't watch regular season NBA I watch college.  I live 5 hrs from Cuse and 20 mins from where the Celtics play I didn't bother to attend a Celtics game until the second round of this years playoffs since I moved here but have probably been to 10 or so Cuse games in that time span.

The current system is far from perfect but eliminating what we currently have just means Kentucky will turn into Villanova and Villanova will be less talented and turn into Georgetown/Seton Hall and on and on.

(Cuse will be fine either way.)

The system we currently have is going to be a lot more popular and appreciated once its gone we'll miss the Burger Boys.

ALSO I get that having kids who are never going to stay 4 years and get degrees isn't ideal.  But I think its still a good thing they are exposed to a college environment.  You don't have to leave with an engineering degree and a internship at a fortune 500 company to take something away from the college experience see Zuckerberg or Bill Gates.

Who wins if top talent skips college?  Not the players.  Not the NBA.  Maybe the G League but not really would any of you have watched G League games last year if Ayton or Porter Jr were in it just because of them?  Prob not.
