Not great work ethic.
Not explosive.
Lazy/ineffective on d.

I suspect it's more armchair followers of the draft that are easily swayed by the snippets of vids and articles attacking who was supposed to be, at one time, the clear cut #1.

All high school hype. He wasn't as amazing in college as everyone thought he would be. Also the age thing really hurts. I don't know if 1 year is a big deal.

As a counter to that.. it may be easier to score 18ppg being defended by Lebron than playing in a Howland offense.

That may be the case! But players getting drafted based on high school performance is a real problem (Harrison Barnes was the "clear cut #1" 2 years ago for instance).

Which is why allowing kids to come directly out of HS is a problem and why the NBA wanted to a two-and-done.. which would be massively better for the NBA... on many levels.

This is why the NFL can have a fourth round pick make a HUGE impact every year. The players are actually physically ready to play.

A 2 and done would make the NBA so much better.
 
For example, Noel might go #1 this year. If he had to wait one more year, didn't play until December next year, then struggle to put on weight and be explosive, he could drop out of the first round next year.

No, that makes no sense. There are plenty of 3rd and 4th year players who are physically ready to play and there is no 4th round and most of the 2nd rounders don't do well.

Probably not. He would still be a 1st round pick. Don't be ridiculous.

I agree. The NCAA needs better incentives though.

100%. It's so stupid that 'money sport' athletes are not permitted to have a part-time job because of concern for improper benefits but non-money sports can. That means a swimmer can take his girl on a date .. have a nice meal. Meanwhile, guys that are making their universities MILLIONS of dollars can't buy a pizza if their parents are strapped .. and most are. Patrick Patterson, while at UK, had to leave his old truck in the parking lot because he couldn't afford new brakes, so he had to ride a bicycle everywhere.. which means he could no longer pick up his girl to go to a movie. I know, some will say boo hoo.. but it is really is too bad. That's one of the reasons UK can recruit so well. They have a MASSIVE budget. The Wildcat Lodge (a separate, decked out, building that houses the bb team, has pool tables, etc.. but also a FULL-TIME, 24hr, chef that makes the team anything they want to eat.)

Other schools just don't have that kind of budget. I think kids should be permitted to receive about $4-5,000 per YEAR for incidental necessities and receive it from the university profiting from their efforts. Not a lot of money, obviously, but a life changer for many that struggle to buy even toiletries...

So, he misses 1/2 the year, struggles when he comes back, and doesn't put on weight. Ok
