There isn't anything left in the talent pool but raw talent. Stern never thought about tomorrow and now that it's here, all he can do is complain. As I see these various announcements, I wonder what's going on behind the barn to make these kids do what they're doing. I believe these kids are being encouraged, induced, propelled. It's a big mess.
School is an irrelevancy.
It's bad for kids, bad for the college game, bad for the business of basketball. Stern is right about all of that, kids are being encouraged, induced, propelled. By David Stern. People aren't stupid, if they see underdeveloped players becoming sudden millionaires, they realize they can be, too. When they see NCAA champions being bypassed, they realize what not to strive for.
