This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

The NBA has no interest in allowing high schoolers by Ajax
To enter the NBA draft because other than can't miss freaks like LeBron, the jump is too big to evaluate their impact. This is essentially the Kwame Brown rule. High school players who have a 5th year in prep school were the only exceptions- Simon's and the point guard who was supposed to ho to NC State. They much prefer this one year G League apprenticeship program.
To your point, a 2 year rule might be the pathway to the nba having an actual minor league system like baseball or hockey.
