The whole post-high-school situation needs to be re-thought. It’s not as simple as it was back in 1969, when you had guys playing 4 years in college (1 year on the Freshman team and 3 years on the Varsity) and then going on to the pros, if they were good enough. Now, you have prep school, G-League, and overseas as options other than college and pros. The “one-and-done” rule should probably be abolished, and then guys leaving high school or prep school who think they’re ready for professional ball can get right to it. And maybe, in the process, there could be some sort of “amnesty” clause, whereby if a kid spends 1 season in G-League and finds he’s not ready for the pros, he can go back to college to play for 2-4 years and pursue a degree? Just a few random thoughts.
