Do you guys support them? It will be cool that they enter the draft after high school , and they decide to go to College during the offseaon of the NBA. or should they just go to college for the 4 years?

some think they have the skill. but they get picked in the second round and sometimes get cut from the team. And then they cant go back to college as a baller, and they cant make it as a student no more.

sure I support it. I mean its not like you cant go back to college. You will sign a phat contract and be set for life (in most cases) People seem to criticize this so much just because it is sports, this happens in other jobs all the time. Mind as well make the money while its there, never know when that knee might blow out. One bad thing is those agents telling them they could be lottery picks and sometimes end up not even being drafted.(this happened last year)

I don't really have a prob with it. My fear is that in the next several years, more and more will come straight to the NBA, and the skill level will drop off. Granted, alot of these cats come in and contribute, but it is more athleticism than skill, and alot of people gripe that this is why the NBA isn't as good as it was 10 years ago. Teams average ages are way lower. I can see where these concerns come from, but I don't think it will ever get so bad that the NBA can't exist. It'll always be entertaining.
