Are NBA teams tanking season for freshman stars?

On tuesday night, some of the best freshman in the history of college basketball squared off in Chicago, and they put on a show. Lebron James, and Magic Johnson were two of the many stars who after the games were praising the young talent. GM's in the NBA would do anything to get a draft pick like Andrew Wiggins or Jabari Parker, but are NBA teams really blowing their seasons just for the chance to improve their team in the future? This article is based on argument by authority. ESPN brings in two of the most well respected college coaches in the game, who also happen to be the coaches of the freshman phenoms. They believe it would be a shame if American teams were blowing seasons.

As an American, I wouldn't like to think that an American team would want to lose or create situations where you would want to lose. I can't even fathom -- I can't go there. I can't believe that that would happen. Maybe I'm naive and I'm going to go read a fairy tale after this.

The quote above from Coach K expresses his disappointment in the thought of NBA teams blowing games. Bill Self, another one of the best coaches in the history of basketball could not believe they were throwing games. By bringing in some of the greatest basketball minds into the equation, many rumors of NBA teams taking their season will disappear because of this major AUTHORITY argument.
