NCAA executives and coaches have long professed a desire to follow the baseball model, where players may be drafted out of high school but once they enter college must wait three years to be eligible for the draft again. That doesn’t appear likely to happen any time soon.

According to multiple people around the NBA, the league’s minimum-age guidelines that require players to be at least 19 and one year removed from high school are not expected to be altered in the coming months as part of negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement.
