Skipping school to outsmart NBA rules
By Dan Wetzel, Yahoo! Sports Jun 25, 1:55 am EDT
A year from Thursday, Brandon Jennings will be, barring injury, an NBA lottery pick.
This Thursday he is expected to receive his standardized test scores that will help influence - but not make - his decision on where to play basketball in the meantime.
Jennings is a blazing fast 6-foot-2 point guard from Compton, Calif. He is one of the top-five high school players in America, having just set single-season scoring marks at hoops powerhouse Oak Hill Academy in Virginia.
The only reason he will not be drafted this week is the NBA's age limit that prohibits teams from drafting players until they're at least one year out of high school. Like every other top player, Jennings, should he qualify academically, could go to college (in this case Arizona), pretend to be a student (all he'd need are two D's in the fall semester) and then bolt to the NBA next spring.
[:(!] these gang banger thugs they let play now needed to all go to school. If he is truly a phenom let him prove it and work he way up though the ranks.
The Denver Nuggets should be proof that just because you were good in high school doesn't mean chit in the pro's.
Kobe has yet to win his own ring he came out of high school Tim Duncan played 4yrs in college and has more jewelry than kobe could ever dream of[:(!]
