NBA Draft - New Policy A Good Thing?

Last Year the NBA set up a new bargaining agreement which prevented high school seniors from entering the NBA draft. There are many critics that disagree with this for numerous reasons. Some say it can ruin a players chances of making the NBA if they have a signficant injury while they are playing for college. In many situations, players entering the NBA draft are not financialy stable and who is deny them of a multi million dollar contract? This is how some players think but it is not all bad for the players or for Basketball. This years class of Freshman dominanted the collegiate level and filled college basketball with future NBA all stars. The NBA also believes the players benefit from a year at college experiencing new things and maturing more for a man's game. I disagree with not allowing the players to jump to the NBA when they finish High School and this video clip shiows that Oj Mayo has the star power and game to play in the NBA.
