Ballin' is a Habit

COULD A CHANGE BE COMING TO THE ONE-AND-DONE RULE?: The NBA's Labor Committee and the Player's Association had their first meeting yesterday as they try to iron out the league's revenue system.

Reading down the article, you will see that, according to Hoopsworld, the one-and-done rule is one of the things that was up for discussion:

The Owners wants to see prospective players play in competitive spotlight events as often as possible before bringing them into the league, as a result the NBA is going to again push for a 20-year age limit. While on the surface you can call this topic many things, what the NBA wants is more Blake Griffins and less Anthony Randolphs.

The point being, they want players coming into the league to be able to play at a very high level Day 1, and for guys that need a year or two of experience to get it away from the NBA. The league is filled with project draft picks and the belief is teams can market their rookies better if they are slightly more developed and teams can find better long-term NBA prospects the longer they have to evaluate them.

The Players will push back a little on this topic, mainly because the stars of this league are now mainly direct-from-high-school players, but at the end of the day the Union has always sold the rookies up the river to protect the veterans and that's not likely to change this go around.

Doesn't sound promising, but hey, at least its on the table.
