I've always been a proponent of "pros developing pros" which has been a saying around US soccer circles since the early days of Major League Soccer (MLS). As US soccer has grown up a bit they've currently morphed into a hybrid model of sorts: professional teams have created academies to develop players - many of whom do not attend college - while concurrent with that there is still NCAA soccer which supplies a number of players to MLS. I wonder if there's an opportunity for something similar in US basketball. The NBA could either establish academies or true reserve (or minor) league teams for players who are good enough to jump straight to professional basketball (and aren't interested in college) while college is still an option for players who either don't want to become a professional immediately or who maybe aren't quite ready...or maybe they just want an education.
