Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 3070143, member: 837"] I suppose, but is he paying for this program? I'm all for kids doing whatever they want and getting rid of the one-and-done rule but this narrative of the best path being to get to the NBA as fast as possible has gone overboard. Kid is ranked 29th. He could go to this thing, show off some elite athleticism and improve his skill/conditioning, etc. and emerge as a really good NBA prospect ... or he could get there, work his tail off but still not be good enough for the NBA. So the interesting thing is does he cease to be an amateur if he goes this route or could he go to college if the NBA doesn't work out? Seems like a relevant point b/c if it doesn't work out what's next? [/QUOTE]
