Last week, New Orleans Pelicans star guard CJ McCollum made an appearance on the Ryen Russillo Podcast. Among the various topics their conversation covered, the two chatted about the NBA’s one and done rule.
For those who are unaware, the one and done rule states that “[a] player must be 19 years of age by the date of said draft. NCAA players are considered eligible after playing at least one year at their respective college/university or school.”
This rule has been the subject of a great deal of controversy, as many have argued that players should have the right to enter the NBA Draft straight out of high school (as they were once allowed to do).
