    The talent level of the NBA will eventually drop low enough where you wont notice the 1 and done's suck talent wise

    If you force them to stay more than a year, then they just gonna go to Europe and ball for a lil bit and come back to get drafted. Especially since you got a dude like Josh Childress who was highly valued to his team over there. They paid this ? , on top of that they paid his taxes, provided him with a car and a crib.

    The NBA is still where the best go to play and make the most money though. So yeah it may seem ok for a year or two, but notice how many end up trying to come back to the NBA even with those overseas benefits

    and it shouldn't matter that there are 2,3,4 year college players who come in and aren't very good in the league. and it shouldn't matter that some of the best players are from high school, or 1 and dones. You can't justify the 1 and done rule or the straight from high school rule based on guys like Durant, James, Rose. And you can't justify NOT having a rule based on guys who spent alot of time in college and are/were average players in the league. And you can't justify NOT having a rule b/c guys may want to go to ? Belarus or Angola or Munich to play a year or two over there. If a handful of guys want to do that, then so bit it. But you can't let that effect the decision to implement a rule to make sure more 19,20 year olds are not in the NBA draft

    They should just go to Europe or other countries, develop their skills and get paid still. Unfortunately, most HS players don't have that maturity and strong free will thinking to do that. How can a 19 year-old from europe is draft eligible than a 19 year old U.S college freshman. NCAA is a plantation pretty much.

    NBA you should be able to go out of high school. They draft them for a reason. They are cheap labor that can fill a few minutes until they get better. Look at Paul George he is a 1st time allstar but been here a while. Unless college gives the NBA some $$$ no changes will happen.

    We need a compare and contrast for players that stayed for 1 year vs those that stayed 1+ for some reason i dont think its that much of a difference..
    As far productivity in the league goes..
