What Is The Definition Of One-And-Done In Basketball?
1. One-and-done is a term used to describe college basketball players who only play one-year of NCAA basketball before moving onto the NBA.
Beginning in 2006, the NBA stated that a player may not enter the NBA Draft unless they were at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft. This would prevent many high school athletes from entering the competitive NBA landscape and require them to at least explore college, or another occupation, for one-year.
A player is also eligible to enter the draft if they are least one-year removed from their high school graduation class, and is not an international player.
