Answer, because they have a minor league farm system. Why does David Stern want a guy to go to college for a year? Answer, so that the NBA doesn't have to spend money on a farm system. And don't tell me David Stern is about education. What he does want, however, is a more finished product/player on and off the court. That is what a college farm system does. Do you think Kevin Durrant or Michael Beasley will ever get their degree? Call it what it is--a farm system. Or let them get drafted out of high school like the MLB.

Call it what it is–a farm system.
Or let them get drafted out of high school like the MLB.

You might be interested to read a column I wrote about this subject, where I go back and look at recent history to see how high school players performed in the pros. http://www.bullz-eye.com/paulsen/2007/0221.htm I have mixed feelings about the subject, but I'd like to hear why you say Stern is "self-serving" on this issue. 12 freshman declared themselves eligible, but that wouldn’t necessarily be the number from this class that would have declared last year if there weren’t a age-limit rule.
