The NBA is doing a horrible disservice to these kids. The D league either needs to expand with a program similar to baseball or leave these kids alone in college at least 2 years and probably 3.

I don't understand why the NBA isn't all over this. The Spurs actually are one of the only clubs (I hear) that uses the Austin Spurs like a Triple A club. With such small rosters compared to baseball I don't understand why there isn't at least a double A and triple A to every NBA franchise. But recruiting these kids in college and having them leave in 1 year sucks. The difference of KY and Louisville is stark. They are 90 min apart and UK has embrased the 1 and done and has been the model of making it work. At UL Rick Patino don't even want them. He goes with 4 year players that will actually play fucking D. I bet UL wins another championship before UK does.
