the NBA is getting closer to upping its age minimum to 20 years old for draft entry. Former Duke All American and one-and-done star, Jabari Parker, told Dan Patrick that the NBA’s proposal to raise the age limit once again is ridiculous.
“I think that’s ridiculous because a lot of people can enroll in service for their country, but they don’t want to give them an opportunity to provide for themselves and go apply for a job in the NBA, so I think that’s kind of ridiculous,” Parker said.
I agree with both sides of the argument.
If you can serve your country, you should be able to enter the NBA when you feel prepared. I also agree with Adam Silver’s and the NBA’s assertion that immature players put out a bad product.
