I propose that every player who wants to play in the NBA has to spend two years in a development league. And that the development league has some unique rules...
- no dunks
- 1.5 points for non-assisted baskets, 2 or 3 for assisted baskets
- refs drilled on calling any and all traveling, carrying the ball, etc.
- take a point away for every flop and return the ball to the offense
- each player's ultimate NBA salary for the first three years is pegged to their development Sprocket Points ranking. |
I like this idea dba. The only reason it works for me is that these would be a 2 year
development league rules. Development of good habits for fairer and more watchable NBA basketball in the future. And it would be way fun if NBATV televised this "minor" league action so that we could watch the future NBA superstars, stars and scrubs
DEVELOP. The last one I'm not sure about. It sounds like you are saying that their NBA rookie contracts would be dependent on their success in the NBA PlayTheSprocketWay Development League performance. Yeah, I'm even on board for this one.
