Congrats @jeffvader

Good luck getting @ham to update the winners trophy unless he wins the lazy fuck. @a_skeleton_03 can you edit that post and add our winners from the last few years.

I won In 2014 and Drakain and I share the win in 2015.

I think the NBA is far better off using the D League as a minor league than the NCAA.

No. Because when you draft a guy with a lottery pick because of his upside even though he has no skills, you can't really send that guy down to the D-League for extended stints. They're making too much money, you have to keep them with the team and hope they learn from the bench and practice and put them into games when you can. If they end up not being able to play, you wasted a pick and court time on that guy.

Not only that, you have to waste a roster spot on a guy because of what he might be able to do in 2-3 years. It'd be much better for teams and for the quality of NBA basketball if college players were forced to stay 3 years. More picks would be used on guys who can play right away, fewer used on guys that might be great a few years down the road but it never materializes.

The 1 year thing is dumb. They should be able to be drafted right out of High School, but if you go to college you should have to do 2 years minimum at that point.

Basketball is probably the best example of a sport where even at a high school age you can truly see an athlete's talent for the game, it's not like playing one year in college is going to magically make or break a future superstar. You can see that shit early on. Happens in hockey to an extent as well, but not like basketball.
