Is right for the wrong reasons wrong?
Good point. It is an interesting time in the NBA. Clearly they are moving toward the MLB model with a minor league affiliate. With the draft only being 2 rounds, it will be interesting to see this year if the 2nd round picks tend more toward US players that align more with the European stash players that have been a large part of Round 2.
If/when the 1 and Done is changed, there will be clear impact but until then, the transition phase could go either way. Do you take a kid lie Brunson who projects to a career bench player but seems to have a much higher floor or a kid like Kostas? Then you get into it from the players side, is it better to picked in the 2nd round or have your choice as to where to go similar to the late 7th round NFL picks?
Great, I have started my own personal rabbit hole and I am now bound get nothing done today.
