There should be NBA advisors preventing kids from declaring too soon

Reading the link below about all the NCAA players who are coming out early is a shame. some are slam dunks, but others are going to the wall of shame. Some of these boys wont have any playing time at the show and will be washed up in no time. Just like in school where there are academic standards, there should be some NBA/NCAA coalition to help advise these kids as to what to do with their lives. Hell, I still dont know what I want to do with mine at 38, much less 19-20 yrs old.

Y'know, I used to think that way too. But now my mind set is "if you can get the money, nobody should get in the way of you taking it." You never know what's going to happen in sports. You decide not to declare for the NBA draft, and the next thing you know you blow an ACL, miss the season, and go largely forgotten and un-drafted the following year. You cost yourself and your family potentially millions of dollars. I agree at some point down the ladder, these guys need a reality check, but that's not really the league's job. 18-year-olds make dumb ass decisions all the time.

I just wish this one mandatory year rule would go away. It's ruining college hoops even more. You get these one and done situations that feel all wrong, like O.J. Mayo. What a mess.
