Two problems i have with an age limit.
The first is the one JO and LeBron have brought up when asked about it, that if you can send a kid to war at 18 how can you stop him playing basketball.
The second is that to say kids aren't experienced enough to handle playing straight out of high school is being pretty judgemental on the kids. Given the coverage of HS now, they're exposed to media pressure from an early age, they grow up faster. Not to mention guys coming from overseas, eg Darko Millisic. Just because LB won't play him doesn't mean he can't adjust to it or was too young when he came over. The kid use to train in Serbia while NATO bombs fell outside, tell me he doesn't know enough about real life.
Personally I don't see a need for an Age limit.
