Scheyer On The NBA Possibly Ending One-And-Done Restrictions

As you may have heard, the NBA is considering ending the the one-and-done rule, which would allow high school basketball players to go directly to the league without waiting a year.

Frankly, we have never understood this. First, it turns the NBA into a combination of baby sitters and development programs. And secondly, as far as the union goes, it will cost some guys their job every single season. What difference does it make to LeBron James, Jayson Tatum and Zion Williamson? Not much.

For marginal players like Jose Alvarado, Bol Bol and Isaiah Todd, or older players like Cody Zeller, Frank Kaminsky or Mason Plumlee, it could cost them their jobs.
