In the wake of the pay-for-play scandal rocking college basketball and the NCAA, the NBA is considering stepping in and being more involved with developing elite high school basketball players during their high school years and possibly removing the "one-and-done" age limit rule for players who want to enter the NBA draft.
The age limit put in place by then-commissioner David Stern was designed to help league's teams save themselves from bad investments on talented yet underdeveloped players. But as the seedy underbelly of youth basketball and college hoops has been exposed in recent years, the basketball world has seen countless examples of players being taken advantage of by parents and youth coaches seeking payouts for delivering players to top college basketball programs.
