It makes more sense for them to attend (if they want) in whatever city they end living in w/ the NBA.

My only fear is college basketball turning into college baseball.

There is a much smaller draft for basketball than there is for baseball.

The NBA draft will have 10 of the first 20 kids taken straight out of HS. Fun.
