Gerald Green didn't go to college...
But my point is, that if a guy is "injury prone", you're more likely to find that out when he's in college, and that could save a team a lot of money by not drafting him, or drafting him lower. And that money could then go to another player who will actually produce and contribute.
Obviously, there will be guys who are healthy throughout college and get injured in the pros. But Livingston has already had two major knee injuries, during the years that he would have been in college.
Because of the injury risk, it makes sense for a player to go pro right out of high school, but it's not what's best for the league. |
