Who cares about a talent gap? It is extremely selfish to think your viewing pleasure is more important than the livelihood of these humans (I want to call them humans because too often people objectify athletes, so I'll call them humans for perspective here)

I think MLB has the best policy. If drafted and don't sign after HS you have to wait 3 years. All pro sports should adopt this.

Should be the same as football. Also it would prevent teams from stacking talent aka Kentucky because kids would want to go where there was an opportunity to play early.

Basketball would return to being boring and lame because the truly talented kids would not think about coming to school.

IMO, it would be better for the game. The way I see it, if the naturally very talented players want to give the NBA a shot after they graduate high school, I say let them prove theirselves. If they decide to go to a school where they want to play basketball and get a college education, let them do that too. Staying one year in college then going straight to the NBA is kind of pointless. Cal would still be able to get pretty good players. Not NBA level of course, but still good quality players. Not really a life or death situation for Kentucky basketball either considering they'll always be a top basketball program regardless of the One & Done rule.

I disagree regarding football. Nobody is ready for the NFL right out of high school, yet you'd have some kids who have 5* talent with the awful ego, a family in need of financial assistance, or worse...both.

Basketball is the only major American sport where, right out of high school, you are ALMOST ready to be pro. Baseball, thanks to its extensive minor league system, can handle high schoolers. Going to the NFL right out of high school would ruin a kid's opportunity at a real career.

I disagree. I don't see that many LeBron James kids coming straight from high school often. It's rare.

Micheal Jordan played 3 years of college ball and look what he accomplished.

Kids are more talented than a decade ago, but with that talent rising so does the NBA's.

dumbest proposal ever -- if the idiots want kids to be in school it should be like football 3 years - alot of them wont even go and not be able to play for a season

They will just be two and done, and one of those years they didn't even get to play. So it changes nothing.

The age limit for the NBA, amateur rules and other things are absurdly archaic.

Just let kids enroll for the draft at any age without penalty as long as they don't hire an agent. Problems solved. It is really that simple.

no, no its not. you apply for draft then you dont play college basket ball so all schools suffer.

90% of young men going to college now wont even smell the NBA.

100% think they will.

How many talented upperclassmen did we return this year and it has not impacted recruiting.

I agree. I'd be fine if it was 3. But allow them to go once, then you gotta stay. The NBA lends itself well to right-out-of-high school players, however I'd hope that the NBA would implement a couple small classes for all from-HS players regarding monetary responsibility. The last thing I want to see is people who put their bodies through hell for our enjoyment only to end up penniless and skill-less because they never got to learn how to respect the money they make.

It happens in football too, and they go to college. A class doesn't make you smart.

More talent. Less skill

Heck yes it would. Kids go to Kentucky and places like that because they know they will play because almost everyone left. If there was a rule like football then the talent would be more spread out and the college and NBA game would benefit immensely.
