Well, it could matter this year. This draft won't include any high school players, or any player under the age of 20 (like the international players). That puts a limit on the amount of prospects in this year's draft because I'm sure this bracket of kids made up a sizeable percentage in the past several drafts. Gomes, who went 50th this past year, may not make it past 30 if he came out this year (but we all know he could have been a first round pick).

So, though Ainge has been fantastic at picking out players late in the draft, this may be his first trouble draft.

The Boston Celtics is not a just team of basketball players, but is a world wide family of individuals who bleed green and follow the team through thick and thin. No such thing as fair weather Celtics fans.

Draft pick will help in any trade. Bynum and Kid New England went undrafted and have a chance down the road.

I mean this past draft was not a weak 2nd round at all. 2006 just might be.

This might not be so great for the NCAA.

Yea. There may not be as many steals later on due to it either. They'll be less seasoned players as well for the college game and the kids who were gonna be HS'ers if not for this age limit left early, it will hurt the college game even more than HS'ers not going to college at all.

i don't think it will hurt college ball at all. The ones that will be coming out early in the future will be the same players that otherwise would have come straith out of HS. It all just shifts a year. Plus, college ball will have the chance to see guys like Garnett, Lebron, O'Neal, Kobe... in the NCAA tournament for one season. How can that be bad?

I see a lot of the HS players going to 'Camp Schools' rather than the NCAA. If grades are an issue or if they just want to sharpen their skills, this gives them an out.

What kind of school did Orien Greene go to?
Basketball school, IMO. Good for him and good for us? Yet to be seen.
