i just saw where he isn't going to college. At one point I believe we were in with him and then at some point backed off. There isn't even an emphasis on education with many of these kids. I don't think they're bad kids. Some are but this system is corrupting them. I have a couple solutions. You all tell me what you think may work.
1. The NBA needs to increase the minimum age to 21. Where do these 19 and 20 year olds go when their teammates grab a drink on the road? Either they're excluded from the team ( not good for team unity) or they are let in (meaning the NBA is encouraging criminal activity).
2. Go back to not allowing freshmen to play. They could still practice but wouldn't go on trips to have more time to acclimate to the academic environment.
3. No more AAU. That would cut out a lot of the shoe money types.
