The terms of the new agreement ended the practice of drafting high school players, starting in the 2006 Draft. A high school player must now wait at least one year to be eligible for selection. However, they are not required to spend that year in college. In 2008, high school star Brandon Jennings decided to skip college and play professional basketball in Italy. After a year, he was eligible for the 2009 draft and was selected 10th by the Milwaukee Bucks. In the 2010 draft, Latavious Williams, who did not qualify academically to go to college, spent a year playing in the NBA D-League before he was drafted in the second round. Emmanuel Mudiay decided to take a route similar to that of Jennings by skipping college to play professionally in China in 2014 before being selected 7th by the Denver Nuggets a year later. Terrance Ferguson also opted out of college for professional play, this time in Australia in 2016 before being selected a year later by the Oklahoma City Thunder as the 21st pick of the 2017 draft. Most recently, in the 2020 draft, both LaMelo Ball and R. J. Hampton played professionally in Australia for different teams (the Illawarra Hawks for Ball, the New Zealand Breakers for Hampton) before entering the draft. Ball was selected 3rd by the Charlotte Hornets, while Hampton was selected by the Denver Nuggets via the Milwaukee Bucks and New Orleans Pelicans as the 24th pick of the 2020 draft.
