RE: LeBron calls for NBA to develop alternative development system to NCAA

Losing 10-20 one-and-done players will not hurt college basketball; on the contrary it will be a good thing. NCAA basketball did quite well before the NBA instituted an age limit in 2006.
I tend to agree that it would actually be a net benefit for the NCAA.
However, if it's a true farm system, we're likely talking more than 10-20 players. Each NBA farm team would probably add at least 2 U.S. players each year. So, that's at least 60 of the highest potential players each year that would no longer play in the NCAA or have their NCAA careers cut short.
