Drafting Athletes out of High School

One of the major controversies throughout pro ports for some time has been drafting high school athletes straight to the pros. The sports this has been an issue the most in has been in the NBA. In the NBA, Commisioner David Stern has restricted this by saying at least one year of college has to be completed. In response to this many high school athletes who certainly have the talent have been arguing this, and I am going to have to take the side of the high school athletes. The high school athletes should be able to be drafted from highschool because everybody has the right to make a living and if basketball is their way of making a living and the NBA is resricting it, than that is not right. Also many notable NBA stars today skipped college such as the two best players in the league, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, proving college is not necassary to excell in pro sports.
