Adam Silver Says NBA Is ‘Conflicted’ On Potential Change To One-And-Done Draft Rule

The NBA’s ‘one-and-done’ draft rule has been one of the more discussed topics for years. Many have gone back and forth on whether the rule is ultimately beneficial for the NBA as well as college basketball and commissioner Adam Silver has openly spoken about the league looking at potential changes.

NBA All-Star Weekend allowed Silver the chance to provide an update on the possibilities of changing the rule during his annual address about the state of the league. “We’ve talked a lot about youth development in terms of whether we should be getting involved in some of these young players even earlier than when they come into college,” Silver said.
