Stupidist thing in the NBA is the 15 player roster ... what a waste of time that is ... nobody wants to watch guys 11-15 play full court anyways.
The NBA dearly needs an amateur league ... but that is way to costly.
I think this would work if they tried it:
12 player roster with a 4 man practice squad. Before every game the team designates a 10 man roster.
the 2 left off + 4 practice players play 30 minute pre-game of
3 v 3 half-court game.
1 ref only.
Added expense of 1 practice player to pay and travel.
Added expense of 1 referee ... the NBA could use this as a ref in training program.
I say the fans would come earlier to see these young kids play some ball.
The practice squad would have age limitations ... like under 26 or 28
