It’s no secret that the NBA is moving closer and closer to abolishing its rule that prevents players from entering the league straight out of high school.
Some believe the age limit will change from 19 to 18 as early as 2021, and NBA commissioner Adam Silver is certainly on board.
“My personal view is that we’re ready to make the change,” he told USA Today earlier this month.
If an alteration is made, it would end the “one-and-done” era of college basketball that has existed since 2006. Surefire lottery picks like Deandre Ayton and Marvin Bagley III would skip college basketball and jump straight to the NBA ranks.
