Why did LeBron go to the NBA right after highschool but Carmelo did one year of college? Was Carmelo not good enough to go straight out of highschool?

I’m not from USA and always wondered why they were on different levels despite being born in the same year. Did LeBron start school later because he was born almost in 1985?

Yea, most schools use a Aug/Sep cut-off date when determining when you start school
