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?

Im looking forward to spending time with him at the Ryder Cup. I think thatll be great motivation for him.Im hoping we can get paired together. That would be really fun. I would love it. Its great to have him back and hopefully hes physically able to practice the way he needs.Woods, who has held the No. 1 ranking in the world longer than anyone else, has slipped to 711th due to inactivity after undergoing two back procedures in the fall of 2015.

Theres been a couple of times where I feel like he may have come back too soon and kind of injured himself a little bit more, and thats whats kept him out of the game so long. But theres probably a lot of anticipation to see how the state of his game is and Im definitely looking forward to watching those tournaments and seeing how his body holds up and how the mental side and obviously the golf side of things hold up as well.The Safeway event will be played just two weeks after the Ryder Cup, where Woods will serve as a vice captain for the United States.Were always going to have high expectations because the guy is arguably one of the two greatest players in history if not the greatest, Mickelson said. Our expectations of him will always be high. It doesnt mean given all the health issues and challenges that hes faced... it doesnt mean thats fair.The Turkish Airlines Open (Nov. 3-6) is the first of three European Tour events known as the Final Series. Woods played the tournament in 2013 and tied for third. He is likely getting an appearance fee to compete.The Hero World Challenge, to be played Dec. 1-4 in the Bahamas, is an 18-player event that invites players based on the world rankings and major championships.
