NBA:
HOW TO GET RID OF ONE AND DONE?
THOUGHTS:
*Would you draftt he player first ?
*Could it be like MLB where you pay players say $100K per year + expenses to learn your system
*Bob said he thoight 21+_ --I say play when you're ready
*Adress life on and off the court
*Assign mentors, new positions within orginization - Former players could be developed as coaches and mentors.
*Teach them everything from your system to money etc.
Current NBA commissioner Adam Silver and several of his top advisers have been engaged in listening tours and information-gathering missions with an array of stakeholders for months. That has included formal meetings with the National Basketball Players Association about adjusting the so-called "one-and-done" age-limit rule. But Silver's aim is much more comprehensive than simply re-opening the door for 18-year-olds to play in the NBA, sources said.
ACADEMIES:
Within the past year, league officials began canvassing teams on their ideas and interest in the NBA creating academies that would house and train dozens of the country's elite high school basketball players, sources said. This academy concept has been floated for years, notably by Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.
These academies would've been modeled after European-style operations that soccer and basketball franchises use and after the NBA's own international academies. The NBA currently operates three academies in China, one in India and one in Senegal and has a global academy with prospects from across the planet at the Australia Institute of Sport. They recently opened another academy in Mexico City to serve standout Latin American teens.
However, after discussions with teams and examining challenges and possible unintended consequences with establishing these operations in the U.S., the NBA has decided not to go down the academy path at this time, sources said.
Instead, the league might be looking at how it can get in touch with prospects while they're playing in high school with camps, tournaments and other connection points as they move through high school, with the summer being a focus point.

He has shot 14-of-22 (63.6 percent) from 3-point range and is averaging 12 points, 7.2 assists and 6.7 rebounds in his past four games. Ball has turned around his shooting, making 26 of 59 (59.4 percent) from behind the arc in the past nine games he has played, after a dreadful start that saw him shoot 28.6 percent from 3 in October and then 24.3 percent from behind the arc and 30.4 percent overall in November.

Never liked “league rules” that eliminate the ability of teams to offer Aldon and others in his situation the structure they so desperately need.

SHAQUEM GRIFFIN UCF LINEBACKER THE STORY OF THE COMBINE 4.38 40
-IM NOT TAKING BARKLEY #1 ---PATS, EAGLES RB BY COMITTEEE....
• Barkleymania. Penn State running back Saquon Barkley put some distance between himself and the field for the best player in the draft. “He’s the best running back prospect I’ve seen in 25 years,” Saints coach Sean Payton told me. Another team, which had given only four draft prospects perfect grades in the last 20 years, told me Barkley is the fifth.
MMQB:
• Top 10? Asked several GMs/scouts/coaches for their top 10 in the draft as of today. Here’s the consensus, in an order close to this: Barkley, USC QB Sam Darnold, North Carolina State pass-rusher Bradley Chubb, Allen, Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield, UCLA QB Josh Rosen, Notre Dame G Quenton Nelson, Alabama DB Minkah Fitzpatrick, Ohio State CB Denzel Ward, Georgia LB Roquan Smith.
ROSEN TOO DIVERSE TO BE A GREAT FOOTBALL PLAYER AND FROM A RICH BACK GROUND SO HE DOESNT HAVE DRIVE?
Cowboys tag DeMarcus Lawrence, reports @toddarcher, only supporting #49ers belief it’s going to be really difficult to add a top-flight pass rusher. That’s why they’re focused on improving the guys already with team.
OTHER:
Considering the number of unsigned free agents left on the market, there's actually a site http://fameproject.org where fans can make money predicting where they'll sign, among other thing sports and pop culture events. Still think Jake Arrieta winds up with #Nats,but we'll see
MEXICAN COWS?
