With much fanfare, but perhaps a lack of foresight, the NCAA announced Wednesday a wide range of changes to the college basketball system. Naturally, there are implications for the NBA draft and the amateur basketball landscape at large. There’s also plenty of room for skepticism, it seems, a sentiment that has begun to echo around the league in private less than 24 hours after the news was released.
On one hand, it’s worth wondering how much the NCAA has actually improved the draft process for players. Equally as frustrating would seem to be the lack of communication surrounding the changes.
