Each pro team could have 10-15 plebes in the college pipeline, but a few favoured schools would get the most talent. Would UCLA for example get the Lakers’ picks?
The player would be working his/her way through college doing pre-professional training. Colleges have prelaw and premed, then why not preNBA? The downside would be that the NBA may not get a tax write-off and the student would have to pay taxes.

a scholarship paid for by an NBA team…or better yet, how about by a shoe company?

After the “one and done” make them sign two-way contracts with G-League teams and nobody goes up to the big club until their college year graduates.

But as long as the cans themselves stay closed, no problem.

Or, what the caller suggested could just be done in secret.
Not that that would ever happen.
