FOCUS #63 - English - High school players getting closer to the NBA!
When the NBA announced last week that a select group of high school players not wanting to go to college can now join the G League and earn $125,000 per year on their way to a pro career, that signified the end of the one and done for top players in college. It basically means that the NBA is getting closer to lowering the age for draft-eligibility and allowing a few HS players to join the league. Not a controversy by all means but certainly a landmark decision for the NBA and the NCAA. Some players, simply put, want to play pro and earn a living.
