So is it true that Brandon Sampson, Ben Simmons, and Antonio Blakney are all draft eligible after their freshman year? I don't pay a lot of attention to NCAA basketball so be gentle.

It's a NBA rule, and yes for all 3 assuming they're all 19 at that point.

It's helped the NBA tremendously. Way too many people were skipping college and coming to the NBA despite not being physically or mentally ready.

Guys like Shabazz Muhammad would've been consensus #1 picks if they didn't play one year in college to show what they really are.

One and done. Wasn't in effect for Kobe and 'Bron, but changed a few years ago. Basically ensures Kentucky has a new starting 5 every year.

That's correct. The way they're playing now. Simmons will go #1 no doubt. Blakney will be a lottery pick and Sampson will go in the 1st.

Simmons will go, Blakney will be up in the air I think.....good chance he ends up coming for one more year. I do not see Sampson getting enough PT to leave after a freshman season once we get Hornsby back.

Some of you guys do not get it smh... Just like y'all thought Mickey would get drafted but he got the best second round contract ever. Antonio is not undersized at all he is a good 6'4 and he is an elite scorer. Simmons is gone (obviously). The shooting guard position in the league has changed wade is only like 6'4 6'5 not comparing blakney to him but I'm just saying he will be fine
