NBA and NBPA agreed to a new CBA.
Despite rumors (hopes) that they would change the draft eligibility rule, that was not addressed.
High school players will still have to wait 1 year to declare.
That means 7 more years of elite HS players going to college for only 1 year then leaving.
See the Big Ten All-Freshman Team: 3 players have already declared for the draft and are expected to be 1st round picks.
Side note that is relevant to Rutgers now (how great is that the the NBA draft is vitality important to the program):
Number of Two-Way Contracts per NBA team was increased from 2 to 3.
This greatly benefits marginal NBA draft prospects in being able to spend majority of the season in the G-League but be on call for when the main roster needs them.
RHJ was on a Two-Way Contract this past season.
I would image that whenever Clif stays in the draft (this year or next year) he would likely be competing for a Two-Way contract after going undrafted.
