You can go to the NBA straight from HS already. It doesn’t happen a lot, but it does happen. Their bodies are ready in some cases, but I don’t know many 18 or 19 year-olds ready to hang with the pressures of being a highly paid pro athlete. He1l, I don’t know of many 25-30 year old NBA players who can handle it.
You can’t go straight from high school anymore. It went away right around when Lebron went straight to the league. They have to be one year out of high school, hence the newer term “one and done.”
They might tweak that rule again though soon, but I just don't think it's going to happen before Edwards enrolls and plays.
Maybe its crazy, but while he's a really good prospect, I don't know if he's ready to play in the league.
If the option was available to him, he’d get a draft evaluation then decide from there I’m sure... also, I was talking more about overall players as well. Players of Lebron’s, Garnett’s, Kobe’s ability shouldn’t have to waste a year in college.
