Discussions between the NBA and the players' association to end the one-and-done era and lower the league's minimum age to 18 have reportedly resumed in recent weeks, according to Adrian Wojnarowski and Jonathan Givony of ESPN.
The rule change would allow players to enter the NBA Draft straight out of high school.
Discussions between the NBA and the players' association to end the one-and-done era and lower the league's minimum age to 18 have resumed in recent weeks, infused with urgency as the clock ticks on the league's preferred target date of the 2022 NBA draft, league sources told ESPN.
So far, the NBA's pursuit of NBPA concessions in the areas of mandating that draft prospects furnish teams with medical information and an additional requirement that would center on attendance and participation at the NBA pre-draft combine remain obstacles to a deal, league sources said.
The 2005 Draft was the last draft to allow high school players to enter the league without going to college for one year.
Martell Webster, Andrew Bynum, Gerald Green, CJ Miles, Monta Ellis, Lou Williams, Andray Blatche and Amir Johnson were the players selected from that draft straight out of high school.
Since college players don't get paid, a lot of people believe the NCAA is exploiting top players.
