Commentary on NBA draft age shift in college careers
The Orlando Sentinel argues the draft age, not college stats, should drive hype as many top prospects are freshmen. It notes the 19 age minimum, one and done trends at Kentucky Kansas and Duke, and predicts freshmen could again dominate the top 10 picks. It cites Anthony Bennett Nerlens Noel Ben McLemore and Joel Embiid as recent examples and discusses impacts on teams and player development. It also references Adam Silver and CBS analyst Seth Davis on raising the age to 20 and the money-driven dynamic between players unions and league officials.
