Since taking over as the NBA commissioner, Adam Silver has been on the forefront of looking ways to better the product on the floor.
One of which has been his efforts in looking to possibly change the format to the one-and-done draft rule that has been in place for the last several years. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Silver had met with the new Commission on College Basketball committee on Thursday night to discuss the matter.
With momentum gathering to reshape the one-and-done draft entry rule, NBA commissioner Adam Silver and NBPA executive director Michele Roberts met with the new Commission on College Basketball in Washington on Thursday, league sources told ESPN.
The meeting between both sides was described as a fluid conversation about the parameters of the current situation that included how a possible change to the rule could have an impact on both the collegiate and professional game. Since being implemented back in 2006, there have been many players to choose to exercise that one-and-done option that in many cases has hurt the collegiate game's product over the long haul.
Any alterations that may potentially be made would have to be agreed upon by both the NBA and the NBPA before things can go that route. There is a sense that Silver is pushing to end the one-and-done rule while also agreeing to put forth a new role that players entering college must stay at least two years before declaring for the draft.
There may still be a few hurdles to clear first, but the fact that there are ongoing conversations between both sides may be a clear signal that major change could be on the horizon.
