Silver Wants 2-Year Minimum Before Draft?

(NBA Commissioner Adam) Silver said everywhere he goes that “people dislike so-called one and done,” referring to the many players who go to college for just one year to meet the league’s age minimum of being one year out of high school and 19 years old. He favors pushing the age minimum to 20.

“It is my belief that if players have an opportunity to mature as players and as people, for a longer amount of time before they come into the league, it will lead to a better league,” he said. “And I know from a competitive standpoint that’s something as I travel the league I increasingly hear from our coaches, especially, who feel that many of even the top players in the league could use more time to develop even as leaders as part of college programs.”
