Please no!

I would hate drafting a 22 year old player with the common flaws rookies have in this game (no stamina, no FT, one crucial skill completely missing...), as those players would be pretty much not worth to be trained...

We haveto improve the actual 18yold,it's impossible to insert players with different ages

Wow, so quick to dis an idea with potential.


Ok, so you think we should put 20-22 year old players in the draft with salaries up to 50k or so (I estimate Deron Williams, Brandon Roy or David Lee would be at least in this range...)? Of course only one or two players of this caliber could be put in each draft pool, but imagine the rant if someone gets lucky and drafts two of those beasts in consecutive years...

How would this change the U21 competition? I think this would hugely improve the big countries and make the smaller countries almost chanceless - I would not want this to happen.

Well, there are several ways how to develop a player. I can imagine that 1phase training with lvl6 trainer is a best way for 5k 18y old rookie. But what about these teams with lower expectations? Two position or team-training with lvl4 would be great for such a 22y old player. Especially if he would go out with 1 prominent, 2 proficient and some strong skills or like that...

The advantage is in my opinion on the fact that you dont need a 5 seasons to develop some backups for you, just 1 or two seasons could be enough to keep them. While, indeed, they would cost on TL just a million or like that

NBA rookies know how to play and develop their skills through experience. I dont think Deron Williams is running faster, jumping higher or passing more precisely than he did as a rookie (not to mention the FT-issue). A NBA player is more or less fully developed when he enters the league and might develop in some areas of his game - a Ben Wallace type of career is really rare in pro sports.

BB rookies dont have experience and dont know how to play. They will run faster, jump higher and pass more precisely if they are trained.

What, we assume BB rookies never played high school ball? Joakim Noah was fully developed coming out of Florida? Scottie Pippen was a Hall-of-Famer before playing with Michael Jordan?

Scottie Pippen was a fat boy with acne who play basketball with a basket fixed on his father's garage door?
because also the strongest newly drafted player,against the best players in the Bb world,are at this level

The "Scottie Pippen" level before playing with Jordan in the BB game will be however a 30-40k player
Do you see the difference in the draft between a 4k player and a 35k player?

But I still don't see the big argument against rookies as old as 22 years old.

Put in the draft 22yold rookies with the same skills of the actual 18yold doesn't have any sense

Put 22 years old with high skill will creat greate unbalance in the draft

I don't see reason why 22 years old should be inserted in the draft,imho,we have yet to improve the 19yold level...
