NBA Age Limit - Good for the Game?
The NBA's collective bargaining agreement, put in place before the 2005-06 season, specifically prohibits players younger than 19 -- in other words, high schoolers -- from entering the NBA draft. It's been three years since, and we don't yet have a verdict: has the age limit been a positive force for basketball or a negative? What's your take?
