I have no problem with this. If a kid wants to play in the NBA, and he's good enough, let him do so. I also like the D-league. Why force a kid who has the potential to be NBA quality to go to college if he doesnt want to? Not everyone wants to go to college. College doesnt offer degrees in basketball either. Provide developmental options for those guys. I don't like the one and done situations, and would hope those guys just go to the D-league, overseas or straight to the NBA.

Yeah it's long overdue. The NBA just took way too long into developing the D/G League into what it should have been all along; a true minor league that allows players to move back and forth between the two leagues so they can continue their development.

I am old fashion. I think if a kids signs a NLI to play basketball, for a school, he or she should be required to honor that commitment unless the coach is fired or leaves for greener pastures. All this transferring becasue I made a poor decision and didn't know that I was going to ride the bench for 2 seasons before I get to play is a bunch of BS. That said, if a kid is coming out of HS and wants to go straight to the NBA or WNBA more power to them.
