Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 1017110, member: 285"] I don't think you should fault the kids for taking their chance whenever they want to. Rather I think you should fault the system and I'm talking about the college system that allows itself to serve as the minor league for the NBA. If you don't want kids to go pro when they want to on their own timeline, then the rules should be tweaked so that it establishes a greater disincentive for colleges to take on kids that are only there for the one year of exposure. Ask the question why do we have a system that forces kids who want to be professional basketball players to go act like they are trying to get a college degree for a year in order to pursue their professional dream? For the most part, the one and dones or even two year players aren't really pursuing a degree. [/QUOTE]
