One-And-Done: CBB's Decline

Andrew Leffler Syracuse, N.Y. -- I believe that the "one-and-done" rule in college basketball is stupid.

Players graduating high school should be eligible for the NBA Draft, and players taking the student-athlete route should be required to attend college a minimum of two years.

Critics say high school graduates are still too young for the NBA, but does one year of college really make a difference?

Take Jahlil Okafur's club incident for example; and 2016 number one pick Ben Simmons, whose failure to maintain a 2.0 GPA cost him The Wooden Award, which is given to the best player in college basketball.

One and done is college basketball's kryptonite, sucking out all excitement in a sport known for its madness. One and done should be called one-foot-in, one-foot-out.

Just to conclude and something to think about, what if Melo stayed another year?
