College basketball should not be a farm system for the NBA- that’s what the D-League is for. Kids are drafted into minor league baseball out of high school, but they’re not taken to task for their decision.

D-League like the YMCA? Has this guy ever wateched a game?

the d-league is a completely different level of baketball then college. Any D-league team would woop up on the college teams. Latavious is playing in the best basketball league outside of the NBA. It is unfortunate that he cannot get a call up(due to age) but he will be playing infront of scouts every night. He will be eligible for the draft next year….and most likely get drafted. Smart decision on his part if he needs the money.

I don’t think the D-League was his preference. He wasn’t trying to be some D-League trailblazer. His advisers talked about going to Europe or Asia for six figures but apparently there was little interest. If he could make a million in benefits, salary and endorsements like Jennings did, I’m sure that’s what Latavious would have done.

$26k a year isn’t crap. What is the poverty level at these days? That’s similar to someone making $13 an hour.

You honestly believe that guys like this go back to college after they fail in bball? Most of the team why these guys avoid college is because they don’t have the academics and I don’t fault them for that. But you always need to have a backup.

mike makes plenty of sense. i’d play ball for 26k a year. if it doesnt work out, he can still go to college like any regular person paying their way through school.

Mike says:

If he doesn’t belong in college (in terms of his academic achievements), there shouldn’t even be a discussion.

I thought it was crazy that everyone made a big deal about Jennings not going to AZ. HE HAD NO BUSINESS GOING THERE – just like he had no business going to MIT, Harvard, etc. College basketball should be for student-athletes, not athletes posing as students.

I’m not criticizing those who haven’t earned their way into college; I’m just saying that they belong in the minor leagues, not in college.

THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST IGNORANT NON SENSE I HAVE EVER READ IN MY LIFE
