Speaking at the SEC Tipoff event on Wednesday, Calipari argued that additional rounds wouldn't be for the NBA but rather to stock its developmental arm, the G League.
"If anybody supports more rounds in the draft, those more rounds are to get kids to go to the G League, you do not care about college basketball or you're trying to ruin college basketball," Calipari said.

Callipari Against Added Rounds in the NBA Draft
"He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?

I'm not sure what it has to do with college basketball, but I don't think it's helpful to the players. Being a free agent and getting to decide who to sign with is better than being chained to a team because they drafted you in the 3rd or 4th round.

What advantage is there to the NBA to do that? I don't agree that they're trying to ruin college basketball. I think it would impact college basketball, but I don't think that's what they're trying to do. Having said that....what are they trying to do??

Ruining college basketball would be the best thing that happens to college basketball.
The NBA believes (and I believe correctly) that they can developmplayers better in the G League than in college.

That the NBA has the interests of the NBA more in mind than the NCAA coaches do.
