		<description><![CDATA[Completely agree with your initial point. College basketball doesn&#039;t need Nerlens Noel. But I still don&#039;t think it&#039;s fair to compare college to the NBA besides being completely subjective about it. College is a completely different game due to zone defense. It&#039;s basically a huge equalizer. It allows those upsets that don&#039;t happen in the NBA to happen. I don&#039;t even like playing or playing against zone defense in pick-up basketball. If college BB didn&#039;t have zone defense, college basketball would then need Nerlens Noel. 

I think that the intensity that the players show is amazing but it&#039;s also inherent due to the system. The players need to play 110% to put on their audition for the NBA as you said. If you&#039;re already in the NBA, while there are some players that don&#039;t always play with that tenacity, keep in mind that these players are ASSETS. Extremely expensive assets that if they&#039;re in a triple overtime game that it may not be worth giving that 110% to risk injury. I&#039;m not defending that, I&#039;m just saying that that&#039;s the unfortunate truth. It&#039;s 1 game out of 82 versus a much shorter college season. Again, I agree with you, I just think it&#039;s comparing apples to oranges.]]></description>
