So the other day SB Nation’s Tom Ziller wrote an article in favor of abolishing the NBA draft, an argument long-time readers of Canis Hoopus know I’ve been making for years. You should go read it, as he lays out the reasons why, and proposes essentially what I’ve suggested, which is rookie free agency (with some added rookie exceptions.)
I still believe this would work, but I thought I’d share the main reason I think skepticism is warranted here.
One of the problems with these arguments is it's somewhat difficult to define what the NBA is.
