In 2005, the NBA thought it had come up with a way to minimize the risk its teams were taking in drafting players. It became known as the “one-and-done” rule, raising the minimum age for draft eligibility to 19 and preventing high schoolers from jumping straight to the league. Players like Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Anthony Davis would now have to spend a year in college before going to the NBA, but nearly 20 years later, the argument over whether or not this rule actually DID anything is still going on.
Did “one-and-done” do what it was supposed to do, or was it just a gigantic waste of everyone’s time?
