NBA officially proposes lowering draft age from 19 to 18

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The NBA has submitted to the National Basketball Players Association a formal proposal that will lower the draft-eligible age to 18 from 19, a person with knowledge of the proposal told USA TODAY Sports.

The person requested anonymity because he was not authorized to publicly discuss discussions between the league and the union.

The NBPA and its executive director, Michele Roberts, planned to review the proposal Monday at a post-All-Star weekend meeting in the Bahamas.

The league and union have had informal discussions about lowering the age limit, and NBA commissioner Adam Silver is on record saying the current 19-year-old age limit is not working for the league or college basketball.

Too many one and done types in college in my opinion.

1. And they have said

That this has nothing to do with Zion Williamson. Yeah, right.

2. The Players Association bargained for the rule to protect the jobs of its current members.
