This is killing NCAA basketball.

I loathe the NBA style of basketball, and last nights game felt like an NBA game.

It's all changed and not for the better. IMHO

Well, to paraphrase Richard Nixon, we won't have Malik Monk to kick around any more. I hope he does well and invests his money well. If he doesn't, I hope he has Big Blue Nation to fall back on. They own him now.

The NBA now has a kind of minor league. Why not use it in stead of dragging their feet? If the NHL thinks your not ready, they'll send you down to Charleston to play for the Chiefs. In MLB, every player no matter how good rides the bus for some length of time. In the NBA now matter how many millions they have invested in you they refuse to let their lottery picks go to the minors.

Factually inaccurate.

Cameron Payne, Jakob Poetl, Henry Ellenson, Stanley Johnson, Denzel Valentine, and Georgios Papagiannis all were sent down to the D-League this season and were lottery picks.

I remember Hasheem Thabeet went D league as well and he was like 2nd or 3rd pick

much better to me than letting them go from high school to the pros.

I prefer the way college baseball does it. A high school senior is draft eligible, but if he gets drafted and doesn't sign then he must stay three years.

Last night's game was nothing like an NBA game.

One and done is also doing more to inject talent into the college game than anything we've seen so far-- it just transitions out fast as well.

No cause, ever, in the history of all mankind, has produced more cold-blooded tyrants, more slaughtered innocents, and more orphans than socialism with power. It surpassed, exponentially, all other systems of production in turning out the dead. The bodies are all around us. And here is the problem: No one talks about them. No one honors them. No one does penance for them. No one has committed suicide for having been an apologist for those who did this to them. No one pays for them. No one is hunted down to account for them. It is exactly what Solzhenitsyn foresaw in The Gulag Archipelago: "No, no one would have to answer. No one would be looked into." Until that happens, there is no "after socialism."

You boys wasted a lot of keystrokes blubbering around about Monk.  He might have helped us win a couple of more games, maybe he wouldn't have. He didn't get Kentucky a championship.  Hard for a 6'3" freshman guard to do that anyway. 

I said way back that we were better off without Monk.  Next time maybe you'll listen to me.
