I think he's trying to do too much..which is natural. He clearly has the talent and the ability to be an all around player like Tmac or Koby...I'm looking for him to bust out after the All star break...

Will be neat to watch him progress, I am sure he is a bit nervous playing against the big boys, but he has the talent to make an immediate impact.

Or maybe I am missing one important point. I am not a big college sports follower period, but it seems to me that if you can pretty much break rules in one sport without being penalized that you should be able to break them in another (and here I am referring to Maurice Clarette and that mess vs. the Lebron James now past issue). I am most likely misinformed as to one major difference, but I'd like to know what. |
The rules for the NFL draft are different then the rules for the NBA draft. The NFL stipulates that you must have completed your third (Junior) year in college to be eligible for the draft. (There also might be a minimum age requirement too.) The NBA has no such requirement, allowing teams to draft players straight out of high school. Two different organizations with two different sets of rules.
Also, the players union in the NBA is much stronger then the NFL and they don't want any rules that artificially limit player salaries or the pool of potential players.

NBA rookies are limited in salary for the first 2-3 years of the tenure in the NBA. Although team's get around it with the signing bonus
