One and Done

There is a big debate whether high school athletes should have to go to college for a year or more after graduating high school or should they be able to enter the draft right after graduating from school. The rule right now is that athletes must attend college for one year or be at least 19 years old before entering the draft. Many people feel the rule should be changed. The commissioner of the NBA David Stern would like to change the draft age to 21.
This rule is a good rule but i think it should be changed. The rule is good because it gives the athlete at least one year to grow and gives more professional scouts a chance to look at the player and see how they will play after high school and against better talent. It also gives alot of college basketball fans a chance to see the really talented players play before they move on to the professional league. The players will also mature after a year out of high school and be able to improve there skills.
The rule should be changed to at a player must be 20 years old before entering the draft or complete at least two years of college. I think this change will help develop the players game even more before going on to the next level. As freshman the players are just learning how to play with better talent and most people develop better skills and get better with experience. With two years experience they will be better prepared for the professional league. Also the rule will allow players to get a better education or possibly a degree. If they have to attend college they should at least get something out of it other than just developing there basketball skills. I know if the players play longer in college there is a greater risk of injury but if they stay longer in college and get a degree then they have that to fall back on.
