NBA One-and-Done

Why doesn't the NBA use an MLB type draft format? It would be super easy, you can get drafted out of high school and still keep your eligibility.  If you decide to go to college, you are stuck with your initial draft spot (and team for 2 years). Also, have a lower rookie scale for kids drafted outside the top 7 who come straight out.

  1. What would have happened with Brandon Jennings who went to Europe for a year?

  2. He could have entered the draft and been on the low rookie scale. Or stayed in Europe for 2 and been on the high rookie scale.

  3. What if he didn't enter the draft and instead went straight to Europe for one year?

  4. He would be on the lower scale until he was 2 years out.
