One and Done NCAA/NBA Basketball Rule: Good or Bad?

As many National Basketball Association fans know, there is a rule that states that a player has to have at least one year of college or international experience after high school before the player can be eligible for the NBA draft. Many NCAA college basketball players choose to leave after one year, For example players like Andrew Wiggins of Kansas. On the other hand there are players like Marcus Smart of Oklahoma State that choose to stay an extra year of college before declaring for the NBA draft. There been a debate whether to leave the rule as it is or to change the rule to require more years in college before being eligible for the NBA draft. Most proponents of changing the rule are saying to have the requirement be two years in college verses the one year currently. 

There are both pro and cons to both sides of this debate. On the side of leaving the rule as it is the NBA gets the players earlier and the players can get started on their careers sooner. On the side of changing the rule to 2 years, for example, the NBA would get better quality player with more experience and better training, college basketball teams would have better opportunities to win championships because they have been trained longer and have better camaraderie between teammate leading to more wins and longer tournament runs. This would lead to better quality teams in the NCAA tournament. Also because the players would be in college for two years they would basically have their associates degree finished which would help them get a job after their basketball career is over or if the NBA just does not work out for them.

In conclusion, the rule should be changed to at least 2 years for the betterment of both the NBA and the NCAA.
