Anyone know the details on the NBA’s new CBA deal? Looks like they may be changing the requirements to enter NBA draft.
New CBA Deal
- Thread starter Wildcat-Lane
- Start date
I have a question about your second point, which I see made often. The same amount of people are drafted every year. How does drafting a guy after 1 year of college instead of drafting them out of keep marginal players in the NBA?
That's actually a myth. A higher percent of HS kids drafted in the first round were more successful than any college class during the same time.
I really wish they’d go to out of highschool or wait 2 years if opt for college, but invest heavily in the G League as a farm system. So pay isn’t directly ties to what pick they go…if you’re a high school kid they send you to the GLeague on league minimum (4 year guaranteed opportunity) to develop (test out) but they can call you up at anytime and activate the draft position salary. If you enter as a HS but go undrafted you retain college eligibility…kinda how getting drafted from HS and turning down your draft pick in MLB doesn’t impact college eligibility
So a Lebron,Kobe,KG could go…play 2-10 games in the GLeague w minimal financial risk to the organization and after a few games of seeing them dominate they’d be called up almost immediately and activate their million dollar contracts. …… but the Kwame Browns would get stuck in the GLeague making 40-50k for 4 years so it evens out the risk/reward for GMs all while helping the college game keep the fringe 1st rounders or day 1 nba guys that chose the NIL and college experience and avoiding possibly getting stuck in the GLeague around for a second year.

If i was an NBA player I would love the 2 year rule as that would let me stay in the NBA that much longer. JMO
That's one of the reasons I disagree with Calipari's position about generation poverty. The same number of players are get big contracts whether they play for Calipari or not.
Yeah it just messes franchises up completely. Of course with Bennett, no one on earth saw that coming. That's just bad management.
The new draftees don’t all make teams. But I see your point. It’s kind of a wash. If it’s not freshmen it’s someone else.
True. But as others pointed out, the same number are being drafted.
Yep. Had HS been eligible, the Cavs would have drafted Andrew Wiggins...a much better pick than Anthony Bennett.
I would say Kwame Brown was very similar. He was the 6th ranked HS prospect according to RSCI in that class. Tyson Chandler was picked right behind him and was the talk of being the #1 pick until late in the process when Kwame jumped up out of nowhere.
Definitely. 50% of the stuff out of Cal’s mouth is what he makes up on the fly. However it is PHD marketing stuff.
No it’s not. Cal says nothing publicly that is not thought out.
But yes, most of it is marketing talk.
There were only 23 freshman who declared last year, 21 got drafted. I would say the number would be lower than that.
