It's just one year outta HS
A year the NCAA gets to capitalize off another kid.
playing pro internationally for a year is an option. just not the nba. its a dumb rule for sure.
The way his pops be making moise for the family he might get an endorsement, or something. As opposed to working for free in the NCAA when his intent to go pro is quite clear, so yeah its a shit rule that keeps college ball essentially as a farm league.
