I am not against players getting paid to display their talents.

I am against the one & done rule - IMHO a player should be able to declare directly out of HS or else they have to wait two years.

The one & done hurts more players than it helps. Yes, they get the quick paycheck, but by not waiting until they mature physically and their game matures mentally so many of them never develop into what they might have been & end up with shortened careers and no degree to boot. And remember, every quick paycheck a "pre-mature" kid gets means one less paycheck for an NBA veteran. And two years later these one and dones will become the veterans.

Of course, it is all part of a process. It starts with the NBA that drafts on potential and not accomplishment. Scouts speculate on what a kid might become and are never happy with what a kid is.

As long as the big paycheck is out there, that is where the kids will flow to and all I am saying is that I know it hurts the college game and I don't believe it helps the players (in the long run).
