I thought this season's 18 year-olds were 17 when they were taken in the draft.

In any event, the scholars who enter the NBA rarely are less than 20. Just curious about the age choice.

No, the draft age ranges are 18-21 or 22.

Not really.

Look at the 2003 NBA Draft, for example. The top 4 picks, including #1 overall pick LeBron James, were teenagers.

In fact, 4 of the top 10 in the most recent draft are teenagers.

Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

I think the game is somewhere in between, in professional basketball you can draft a well trained player that need just a bit of final touch to become a great player.

Here you get a potential player and need to train him to glory.

It is closer to the European system where teams own the player from young age and can sell him after developing his skills.

Also the system does not have trade options and salary cap.
