Australian basketball fans could be the beneficiaries of the NBAs one-and-done policy, should Adelaide import Terrance Ferguson emerge as the trend-setter for star youngsters seeking an alternative route to the worlds best league.The controversial one-and-done scheme requires NBA draftees to be at least one year removed from high school, with many opting to undertake a year of college.Ferguson, 18, has taken a different route, choosing instead to sign with the NBLs 36ers ahead of entering the 2017 NBA draft in June.It means that unlike all those young basketballers who arent getting paid while attending college, Ferguson is earning a healthy wage while continuing his basketball development.A lot of them are like, man, I should have done what you did, Ferguson told New York Times.The schools make a lot from you. The coaches make a lot from you.But youre really getting nothing from it, just the basketball experience, the college experience.Education is obviously important. But what are you really getting out of it if you only go for one year?The Texans sentiments reflect those of Australian No.1 draft pick Ben Simmons, who told the recently-aired documentary One and Done of his disdain for study during his one and only year at Louisiana State University.Im going to the NBA next season ... its not going to help me, said Simmons, whos missing the start of the NBA season with Philadelphia due to a serious foot injury.I have to be getting better everyday ... Im not worried about my oceanography class. I cant get a degree in two semesters, so whats the point?Ferguson, a high school basketball sensation who is tipped to go in the top 25 of the draft, says he is enjoying his time in Adelaide.The guard is averaging 17.46 minutes and 6.7 points in seven games NBL games for the second-last placed 36ers this season.He had more than just this opportunity to go overseas, said Rachelle Holdman, Fergusons mother who also moved to Adelaide.But this was just the most logical because of the language and the culture not being so different.Its just so new that I think a lot of kids dont know about this option.But Im already hearing from other parents.With the NBL allowing teams three imports on their rosters instead of two as of this season, Ferguson could blaze a trail for other young Americans, with the 36ers revealing they have been asked by rivals teams how they went about recruiting him.I told them, No, I aint doing that, said coach Joey Wright.They said, What do you mean? And I was like, We aint that close! Noah Syndergaard Jersey . Boucher previously coached the Tampa Bay Lightning and had a 97-78-20 record over two-plus seasons.
