NBA meets with College Commission to talk one-and-done rule, report says

NBA commissioner Adam Silver and NBA Players Association executive director Michele Roberts met with members of the new Commission on College Basketball on Thursday, and among the topics discussed was the one-and-done draft entry rule, according to a report from ESPN. 

The one-and-done rule, which was put into place in 2006, requires U.S.-based players to be out of high school for one year before being eligible for the NBA draft, but it is something Silver is reportedly open to changing.  

ESPN reported the meeting was educational as Silver and Roberts spoke about how the pro and college games could be impacted by changing the way the NBA draft is done. Silver is considering proposing a change that would allow players to enter the league directly out of high school again, but it would force them to remain in college for two years if they do enter school. 

Silver said last month that the rule is "clearly not working for the college game."

However, some of the top players in the NBA, including Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwight Howard and Kevin Garnett, came into the league straight out of high school before the one-and-done rule went into effect.

Any rules around draft eligibility must be collectively bargained between the NBA and the players' association, but according to unidentified ESPN sources, the conversation surrounding the one-and-done rule has been ongoing between the league and the union.
