Jay Bilas was making this point if a kid gets drafted and wants to go back to college the NCAA and should allow it.
Teams are now drafting Europeans they can leave overseas for years to get around drafting college kids not ready to contribute.
If college basketball players didn't hire agents and just did what baseball players do and hire "advisors " it could skirt the whole agents problem.
This could help players come into the league more developed and ready to be able to play. All these kids drafted early very few are going to play at all and will be in the Dleague just to develop.
If Devonte Davis could go back to school get better and once he was ready go back to the pros when he could have a chance to stick in the league. Now he doesn't have a guarantee contract being picked in the 2nd round and if he gets cut he will be stuck going to OVERSEAS. Boston didn't draft a college kid because they couldn't afford the on their roster as they have a ton of young players. So they stashed 2 Europeans for 2 years so they could get around the first round restrictions.
