Pretty interesting fact I found out. I wonder if the NBA will roll back their limitations on High School drafts again.

    Frankly it tends to not work out the successes are Moses Malone, KG, Kobe, LeBron, and Dwight. Correct me if I’m wrong but other than those players high school players have all underperformed or washed out abnormally fast.

    is this referring to getting drafted as soon as they finished highschool with no gap year? Because I know Mitchell Robinson was drafted out of high school but he had a years gap

    I mean we have two dudes on our team that both came out of high school lol (3 if you want to count scoot, but I don’t).

    But yeah Lebron was 18 when he played his first nba game and that is just crazy

    Remember when the nba was gonna go back to allowing HS players and there was gonna be the “double draft”? What happened? It was being hyped beyond just speculation. Even Zach Lowe was talking like it was a sure thing.

      Suns got absolutely slammed for trading away the double draft pick for Mikal bridges. It was so dumb

    Dude is still averaging 25+ ppg on high efficiency. He could probably play until 45 at this rate
