eh...for now, you can get better by staying in NCAABB and then getting drafted higher...davion mitchell for one...will be a first rounder most likely, [I]only [/I]bc he killed it this year at baylor...otherwise gleaguer at best...and that path to the NBA is rough...OB made it but it is not paved with gold. he beat the odds.  he took the hard way and made it...but OB couldve just as easily come back to school and made the same improvements he did in the Gleague then be a first rounder...don't see why it has to be "everyone stay" or "everyone leave"...

perhaps the improvements he made in his game only wouldve happened in gleague and not at SU...its certainly possible.

Still, on the balance of it, I think way too many players leave too early now (and transfer, as well)...and, personally, watching players "develop" while also being pros is not my fav bball to watch. does anyone actually watch the gleague?? How many players in the NBA never actually become NBA level players? (a lot, imo - in terms of being drafted on potential and only sticking around bc teams have to pay them)...the NBA being so bent on potential these days is undermining NCAABB, imo.

I like NCAABB and wish more was being done to make sure it stays relevant...bc I see it being undermined more and more every year.

I thnk if the narrative your post is aligned with continues to progress...the overlap between NBA and NCAABB will basically cease to exist and only a small % of players who play NCAA will ever play NBA...and, if you are an SU fan/NCAABB fan...is that what you really want?
