The author conveys two opposing opinions: The NBA has set a rule stating a senior out of high school can not join the NBA draft until one year after he graduates; in Europe, age isn't a factor, as long as the young man is ready, has the skills, and is mature enough to play then it is ok. "Qualified players, he [Vaccaro] told me, should be able to earn a good salary playing basketball when they want to, not when the NCAA or NBA decides they can." Vaccaro recommends any player who has the talent and is ready to go pro should come to Europe to fulfill their dreams. Stephenson, a senior interested in going pro, is ready for the NBA, says his high school basketball coach and father. He is 6 foot 5, has 38 points, and 14 rebounds.
Clarification:
Is the author of the article for or against NBA's rule that a student-athlete has to wait a year after he graduates?
Application:
If you, as a basketball player, had the opportunity to go to college or play basketball over seas, which would you do? Why?
