He will not even see the floor for MSU and still make millions on his potential alone.
@%%$ you NCAA........

If you never play college ball, your weaknesses can't get exposed. This may be a good strategy for future players to use. Blatently take money from agents, get declared ineligible by the NCAA, then get drafted on your potential.

that I've seen don't have Sidney going until late in the second round. One of them has Jarvis going 21st, one has him the 5th pick in the second round.

//mock drafts at this point are pretty worthless outside of the top 5 picks or so.

a big old <17> you to David Stern. His ridiculous (and discriminatory) minimum age rule for the NBA hasn't helped the NBA, and it sure as hell hasn't done college hoops any favors, either. Colleges basically end up babysitting these guys for a year, and then the day after the tournament, they get an agent and stop showing up for class. If they REALLY gave a crap about the integrity of the game or whatever they claim the rule is about, they'd either do away with it, or grow a pair and raise the age to 21. But they won't, because one would lose them points from a PR standpoint and put them back in the "bad old days" of Lebron showing up to high school in a Hummer and people bemoaning "but what about their education?" and the other would lose them a truckload of money.

I think that would be better for a potential (1 and one) player than going to college for a year. First of all, they would be making money. And secondly, European ball is much more fundamentally sound than most colleges and would make them into better players. And lastly, if you didn't pan out for some reason... you're still making money, whereas in college you just suck with no money.

Give me either a 2-year rule or go back to letting top players skip college altogether.

That one year rule isn't about the Lebrons of the world. It's about the Kwame Browns. They don't care about the education or anything like that, and they really don't care about college basketball. They just want to force these guys to spend at least a year at a higher level to give them more time to evaluate before investing money in these guys.
