Get Rid of the One-and-Done Rule

It's about time the charade ends. Ever since the NBA and NCAA came to an agreement that made players attend college and play there for at least one year before entering the NBA Draft, players have come and gone through college basketball. The top players only attend college for one year, then go straight to the NBA. Every analyst wants these young guys to stay and develop their craft in college, as they think many players rush to the NBA simply for the money.

In my opinion, that is a ridiculous stance. If you are in a position to get paid millions of dollars for your talents, why wouldn't you go to the NBA as soon as possible? Everyone praised Marcus Smart last year, who could have been a top pick in the 2013 draft but returned to college to work on his game. Fast forward one year after an underwhelming season, and his draft stock is weaker. Guys like Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker will always leave after one year, yet this charade will continue on and on.Marcus Smart Did The "Right Thing" And Look Where It Got Him
