One and Done Rule

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   Wish the NBA would allow superstars from high school the chance to turn professional.  It would help everyone involved.  Kids like Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley had really no desire to go to college, but were forced to because of the NBA rule that states they must until age 19.  College is supposed to be for those who want to go.  If a teenage sensation is ready to play in the NBA, like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, they should not be denied that opportunity.  I would love to see the same rule in the NBA as is used in baseball.  If a player attends college, he can not be drafted until his third year is completed.
