[QUOTE="rtbritt, post: 1537518, member: 4615"] I don't really agree here. Yes, if you really are good enough for the NBA, I think you should be able to go. College shouldn't be forced. *(Although, it should be pointed out that this is an NBA rule, and it is THEIR league, so they are the ones who decided they don't want kids straight out of HS.)* If a player is going to go pro and play in the G league for "a couple years" and then flame out, I'm guessing that player would have much preferred the fanfare of college basketball for a couple years. I guess I think of those people out of high school that say "I'm going to work for a year or two, then go to college." Most never end up going to college. If they are smart and hard working and find a good job or career, that is awesome; college is not for everyone, but I don't know that is the case for most. [/QUOTE]
