You'd get more 18 year olds coming out to get drafted. If they're good enough, they get drafted, and make the NBA squad. If not, they get drafted, and end up playing for the Rochester Nets or whatever. Making money to learn their craft. If they're not good enough to be picked even as a minor leaguer, then they see if they can go to college.
Sure, then College Ball is really looking at the bottom of the barrel talent-wise, but I don't see why the NBA should give a fuck about the NCAA, and at least we'd get a more honest system in college; they'd really be 'student-athletes' and not just biding their time until they get a pro contract.

Finally someone who doesn't cry over the NCAA.
If the NCAA wants to stay competitive, at least allow Boosters and shit. If you can't get paid without being suspended from your sport, then it's better that you go to the NBA where you CAN get paid.
Getting suspended and then not allowed to play pro sports? Maurice Clarett caught the toughest fucking break ever due to really gay elitist rules.
