NBA AllStar Weekend:College Fresh/Soph V. Jr/Sr Class 

Post#1 » by DerrickRose23 » Fri Feb 15, 2008 4:00 am

It would be an interesting idea that a lot of different sports are looking at and give the casual fan a chance to attach with the game on a better level.

This WOULD NOT REPLACE the NBA ROOKIE/SOPH game, it would be in addition to it.

You guys can make up your teams all you want, and discuss winners, but I think this would be a good idea for future for the NBA to grow its game?

Pretty sure they wouldn't do this because NBA team executives aren't supposed to have much in the way of contact with college players pre-draft season.

Or am I way off?

This could be exciting, and it would get all the college diehards a reason to tune in... Plus we would see some future NBA stars... Problem is, NCAA are a bunch of dicks and I don't think their regulations would allow players to keep their elegibility after doing this, so there would have to be some major NBA/NCAA agreement...

I would like to see some college players in some of the other events as well, like the dunk contest and shooting stars....
