Many haven’t gotten over the fact that NBA has the rule stating guys must be one year removed from High School in order to enter the NBA draft. Especially when there isn’t such a rule for other sports and because you can serve your country in the military straight out of high school. If Stern has his way, sounds like it will be two years removed from HS…
“The NBA currently mandates players must be 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft and at least one year removed from the graduation of their high school class. Stern pointed out that the so-called ‘one-and-done’ rule was an NBA-driven improvement from the days when high school standouts were drafted directly into the NBA, and that he would like to see the requirement taken further. ‘We have a committee that we’ve agreed to with the Players’ Association. We will be looking at the entire situation and probably with the (National Collegiate Athletic Association) input as well,’ Stern said. ‘We would love to add a year, but it’s not something that the Players Association has been willing to agree to.’”
