Last week, Darius Bazley, the five-star recruit once committed to Syracuse published a Players’ Tribune article that discussed his decision to forgo college to be the first player to make the jump from high school to the G-League.
His decision has been a topic of polarizing discussion in the sports world. The issue of college amateurism, in particular, the lack of compensation and inability to profit off one’s likeness has been hotly debated for decades.
Prior to 1971, the NBA disallowed the signing of any player who had not finished four years of college.
