Eight of the last 11 No. 1 overall picks in the NBA draft have been college freshmen since the NBA implemented the one-and-done rule in 2005.
This rule states a player must be 19 years old or one year removed from high school to enter the NBA draft. This also means the best NBA prospects are coming from college basketball.
The rule is not only good for college basketball fans, because it adds entertainment to the college game by making the best players go to college for at least one season, but it is also good for the players because it gives them an extra year of experience on their road to the NBA.
