NBA Improvements 2024 - Part 2

I think another way for the NBA to get us excited about new rookies and draft picks is to continue to use the NCAA. The players can learn in a less stressful environment and grow their game as they enter adulthood.

The idea is to promote players on a global scale by having them enter the NCAA via funded NIL type system. The NCAA would pay players enough for them to stay in school instead of getting rookie deals. Or go to a NFL style age rule?

  1. Fund NIL for NCAA
  2. All players who enter the draft, foreign or domestic must play 1 year (1 and done for global)
  3. Remove G-League 1 and done rule
  4. Count each year in NCAA as 75% or 100% of a NBA year when it comes to salary
incentivise the players to stay in school for their growth and give credit when they enter league so they do not lose out of the later year growth in salary.
