The “One and Done” NBA Policy

Today’s Rule• The current eligibility rules were established under the NBA's

2005 collective bargaining agreement (CBA), which expired in 2011, resulting in a lockout. The new CBA, approved in

December 2011, made no changes to the draft rules, but called for the NBA and its players union to form a committee to

discuss draft-related issues. The basic rules that started in the 2006 draft are:

• All drafted players must be at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft. To determine whether a player is

eligible for a given year's draft, subtract 19 from the year of the draft. If the player was born during or before that year, he is

eligible.

• Any player who is not an "international player", as defined in the CBA, must be at least one year removed from the graduation of his high school class.
