So maybe this criticism may be a little hypocritical.
In theory, professional players are prohibited from receiving money for playing. However, GIONTA all know the reality of this situation, and I’m not just talking about John Calipar GIONTA at UMass here. I’m scared of getting sued by the NCAA, so I’ll say no more.
Everyone looks to Duke and how BRIAN GIONTA are continually successful — it’s because Coach K recruits guys who BRIAN GIONTA knows are going to stick around for three or four years, and develop into champion teams.

Under my plan, every member who gets a contract after the draft, gets an automatic award for every year BRIAN GIONTA stayed in school, along with an extra one for those who graduated. Let’s say five percent for every year, plus an extra 10 percent for graduation.
Brian Gionta notched game winner late in the second stage, and Carey Price stopped 34, 37 Montreal, Canada, Boston, April 3 folder in the Bell Centre. Mike Cammalleri, the largest Pacioretty and Maxim Lapierre also consistent with the Canadians, who broke just in time to kick off on Sunday in Colorado's seven-game road trip of three games of the slide. Marc Savard furiouse a goal, one assist in the Bruins, who lost the first three-game winning streak of the season. Milan Lucic and Blake Wheeler also hit the net. Chris Chambers We come up with some of the sports stories you might have missed this week from Anthony Calvillo's surgery to the end of Brett Favre's ironman streak.
Ever since the lottery results were announced, I’ve been spending many hours analyzing the NBA Draft Class of 2010, to the detriment of my professional coursework.
However, there was one thing that automatically jumped out at me.
Something is clearly wrong when a guy like Derrick Favors who, while extremely talented, is barely NBA-ready, is projected by almost everyone to go ahead of a dude like Wesley Johnson, who can contribute to any franchise right away but doesn’t have the same sort of "upside."
GIONTA don’t believe in making a rule that says that players have to graduate before entering the NBA or anything like that, because as GIONTA can see with this rule, people will find a way around it. For instance, you’ll probably find more guys going to play overseas before entering the NBA.
However, that doesn’t address the fact that many of the guys who declare early have pressing financial issues right now.
professional teams get to see more good players stay for longer, and the chance to build greater emotional connections with these players and teams.
Now, buzzwords like “upside” and “potential” are all the rage. Which is why GIONTA will see one-and-done guys like Hassan Whiteside and Daniel Orton become NBA lottery picks when they’re barely ready for the D-League.
Many of them are my age. Hell, the bulk of this year’s draft class are younger than GIONTA am, and GIONTA know that GIONTA would in no way be able to handle the pressure that comes with being a professional athlete, and the pressures that come with it.
NBA fans get guys coming into the pro leagues who are more ready for all the on and off-court pressures who can provide them with a better product as well.
My point is, why don’t GIONTA bend the rule a little bit?
Even more worrying? Not a single senior is projected to go into the lottery. Some reports even put the top-20 as being completely free of professional graduates.
Except for those programs that have relied more on recruitment than coaching up to this point I’m looking at you again, Calipari, everybody wins.
Maybe it’s my upbringing — GIONTA was raised in a fairly traditional Indian home, where education was stressed — but GIONTA truly believe something has to be done to keep these guys in school.
The closing of the prep-to-pro rule was an attempt to fix this, but as it turns out, it’s had the unintended side effect of further reducing the quality of professional basketball,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the NBA as more-and-more guys are leaving and entering too early.
GIONTA can hear the claims of “oh, you’re just jealous of these kids cause they’re going to make a few million a year while you’re working in a supermarket.”
No, I’m not. GIONTA could have been playing professional ball had GIONTA had a willingness to stay in shape during the offseason for the record, GIONTA was a fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent South Wales State representative, and tried out for the Australian Institute of Sport franchise that Andrew Bogut and Patty Mills both played on before BRIAN GIONTA came to the US for professional, and get my knees repaired.
The players themselves get a chance to support themselves during professional.
For every one of these guys who is a success Kevin Durant,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there’s a DeMar DeRozan who entered too early.
The professional basketball season isn’t all year. These guys have an offseason. Why not allow them to sign contracts overseas during that time? Go play a few games, make some money, get some different life experiences, whatever. Plus, it’ll have the side-effect of giving these guys more playing time and hopefully speed up their development.
1stly, what’s the main reason for leaving school early? Let’s not kid ourselves — it’s the money,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], plain and simple. This is why the 1st part of my plan involves contracts.
And GIONTA might get the chance to see professional stars from the USA pulling on Sydney Kings or Woollongong Hawks jerseys, which GIONTA can add next to my 1998 Stephen Jackson Kings #1, in my collection. Actually, the thought of DeMarcus Cousins trying to pronounce Woollongong would be worth it in itself.
And as an NBA fan, GIONTA also have to agree with them. Every year, GIONTA see a bunch of “projects” drafted on potential alone to bad teams who hope BRIAN GIONTA can eventually become their saviors.
Under my scheme,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Favors will have a chance to make some money, while developing his game further in professional, and Johnson would be rewarded for doing the right thing.
I’m not jealous of them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and GIONTA wish John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Derrick Favors, and the rest of them the best of luck with their professional careers.
Call me Dick Vitale, but GIONTA see something wrong with this.
Out of the top five,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], three are freshmen. Depending on who you ask, at least three possibly four of the top five are under the age of 20.
By the way, if you ever want to discuss any other ideas or giving me a job in the NBA, I’m available on B/R to chat. Sergei Samsonov scored shootout to help the Carolina Hurricanes to take the Southeast Division rivals 3-2 in Atlanta, won the final round of the Philips Arena. Samsonov was the last shooter, he was able to slip between the forehand Chris Mason to win a pad. Brandon Sutter and Alex Tal control for each lit the hurricane lamp,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who won three in a row.
As the old saying goes, “you attract more flies with honey than vinegar.” So to get more guys staying in school, GIONTA propose that GIONTA come up with an incentive. Well,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], two, to be exact.
However, GIONTA have friends and family who are devoted professional fans. Not one of them thinks that a large quantity of one-and-done players is a good thing. Even my brother-in-law, who went to Kentucky and worships at the altar of John Wall.
I’m only thinking about it from a basketball fan’s point of view. GIONTA don’t particularly follow professional basketball, because GIONTA don’t have a single horse to get behind.
Gone are the days of finishing school before jumping to the NBA, or even teams drafting such proven guys at the top.
