But hey, let's not derail the thread by discussing Josh Jackson staying at KU to improve his draft stock from #3 to #1. You might get yelled at by PB. |

If you need more development for the nba, where would you rather get that, at a college where you have to do school and all the other shit or
In the nba, where you have no other responsibilities than basketball, and your being paid for it. |

There probably isn't an answer that's right for 100% of the athletes. I just wanted to point out that playing college basketball isn't such a horrible gig. |

Same thing happened in the Royals thread until mods had to step in to get it back on track.

But if you pass up an opportunity to play professionally and pop and achilles or something, you're stuck. Computer Science or microbiology or whatever other degree isn't the same as this. Unless you have a stroke or brain aneurysm, you can keep doing computers. If these guys get hurt they can't do what makes them successful |

The NBA drafts a lot of its players based on potential. It is rare that a first year player makes a huge impact, even on a bad NBA team. If a player leaves after one year, they will get paid, but they will be trying to further develop their skills against the best players in the world. This leads to having your flaws and weaknesses exposed, and can eventually lead to assignments to the D-League or that player just being released with few options other than toiling for years in the D-League or going overseas. Some players will flourish at the end of an NBA bench, but most won't, and after their rookie contract is over, so is the big money. But if they spent another year or two in college, it's more likely that they will actually develop their skills, and improve their "potential" in the eyes of the NBA. But it's not a one size fits all solution, but I have listed a few players that may have been better off staying in school. I think Nick Collison is a great example. If he left after his junior year like Gooden, he probably would end up bouncing around the league and then fading away. But he came back, became a more focused, mature player, and has spent his entire career with one team that has paid him well because they see the value in all the little things he does to help them win. I can honestly say that I believe that doesn't happen if he leaves a year early. Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk |

if players can't develop in the NBA as basketball being their full time job ... they aren't going to develop. Thinking you'll develop in college better because 'you're the man' playing against inferior talent when you also have to balance a class schedule (lol) is foolish.
you don't stay in college to develop, it's a myth Kobe Bryant developed pretty nicely as a 17 year old in the pros ... you either have that work ethic, or you don't. |
