Pretty interesting fact I found out. I wonder if the NBA will roll back their limitations on High School drafts again.

Remember when the nba was gonna go back to allowing HS players and there was gonna be the “double draft”? What happened? It was being hyped beyond just speculation. Even Zach Lowe was talking like it was a sure thing.

Once NIL deals in college became a thing, it wasn’t viewed as being as big of a problem that needed to be fixed. Maybe the rule change will still happen eventually, but that took away a lot of the urgency.

Suns got absolutely slammed for trading away the double draft pick for Mikal bridges. It was so dumb
