Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr on Monday said players who leave
college early for the NBA draft but go unpicked should be allowed by the NCAA
to return to school.

禮拜一的時候Kerr表示，提早離開大學參加選秀的球員，
如果在選秀會沒被選到，應該被允許回到學校。

"Don't keep this ruse going," Kerr told reporters Monday. "We all know what's
going on. Let's do what's best for the kid and give them some options, and
work together between the NBA and NCAA to find the right system. I think it's
entirely doable if you people just open their eyes."

我們不該讓這詭計繼續，Kerr禮拜一這樣告訴記者。
「我們應該做對孩子最好的事，並給予他們選擇。
NBA跟NCAA該一起找出對的體制，
只要大家睜開雙眼，我相信這是可行的。」

Under the current system, underclassmen who leave college and sign with an
agent are not welcome back to their NCAA institutions. Kerr said he doesn't
understand why that's the case.

"One of the things the NCAA needs to look at is, if a kid signs with an agent
and he doesn't get drafted, welcome him back," Kerr said. "Why not? What's
the harm? We talk about amateurism and all this stuff, but if you're truly
trying to do what's right for the kid, and the kid declares for the draft and
doesn't get drafted, you know what? Welcome him back. Do something good for
the kids."

College players who declare for the draft but do not sign with an agent can
maintain their eligibility if they withdraw from the draft process by a
specified date.

這幾段提到現行的規定，而Kerr說他不能理解那些人為什麼不能回NCAA。
Kerr說「我們應該做對孩子們好的事情，我們應該歡迎他回來。」

Multiple sources told ESPN that the NBA is preparing to get involved again
with elite high school basketball players, with the league already having had
meetings with the National Basketball Players Association about adjusting the
so-called "one-and-done" age-limit rule.

許多消息來源告訴ESPN，NBA準備改變「one-and-done」的規定。

A plan is expected to include the NBA starting relationships with elite
teenagers while they are in high school, providing skills to help them
develop both on and off the court. It would ultimately open an alternate path
to the NBA besides playing in college and a way 18-year-olds could earn a
meaningful salary either from NBA teams or as part of an enhanced option in
the developmental G League, sources said.

預計該計畫包括幫助高中生提升球場內外的能力，
並提供一條路線，讓球員可以從NBA拿到薪水，
或是參加G-league。

In recent days, influential voices such as former President Barack Obama and
LeBron James, a vice president of the players' union, have called for the NBA
to expand its G League to give teenagers another option besides the NCAA
route. NCAA president Mark Emmert has said repeatedly he doesn't believe
players should come to college merely as a temporary stop before heading to
the NBA.

"I think it's great," Kerr said of bolstering the G League. "I think there's
lots of things that I think the league and the NCAA can collaborate on. ...
The fact that the [G] League is getting stronger and stronger, we should
provide that as an option for high school kids who maybe don't want to go to
college."

最近Barack Obama跟Lebron James都在呼籲聯盟讓高中生可以參加G-league，
作為NCAA以外的選項。 Kerr也覺得這是一個很棒的想法。
