Especially with a lot of the one and dones, some players have not even hit their primes by the time their rookie deal is done. I think there's some leeway in if you want draft eligibles to be 2 years post grad class, then you pull one year off the rookie length, if you leave as is, lengthen the rookie deals a year and tack on a player option on the 6th year, and maybe a mutual option for the 7th year.

Interesting thoughts here, I have to say.
But please not Brandon Jennings, despite that 55pt game in his rookie season he hasn't done much yet to impress me. Despite averaging 15 shots/game, he's a career .387 shooter, that's pretty bad IMO. I don't need a ballhog in Dallas. Just my opinion.
