History

Historical Context

During the 2005 NBA Draft, the league finalized a CBA that would raise the draft age to 19 and require a year after high school, a rule applied from the 2006 draft onward. The selection of Andrew Bogut first overall and Milan Momcilovic’s 48.7% three-point shooting (136 threes) illustrated the shift toward stricter early-entry evaluation.
