And that is how and why the "one and done" players are helping kill college basketball.
There is no reason to focus on team. None at all.
The only focus is on personal stats and improving draft status during that one short season.
As a result, team basketball dies, and it's all one-on-one isolation.
It''s like watching a bunch of young, raw Allen Iversons who want to show off their allegedly mad skillz.
For you young pups, go look at how many championship teams Iverson played on, high school to college to NBA.
Plus how many Olympic Gold Medals he helped bring home.
For those too lazy to google, despite being 1st overall pick, NBA MVP and scoring scads of points, Iverson won ZERO championships and helped USA to a bronze in Olympic basketball.
There is no "team" in Iverson. Only one big "I."
Tons of that mindset in NCAA hoops these days

One last point. The UNLV team with Larry Johnson, Stacey Augmon and Greg Anthony was the best college team I have ever seen.
All of those guys stayed through their senior year.
Today, a team like that cannot exist as those players are one and done.
Many learn the game in the D League instead.
