Should the NBA Get Rid of the One Year Rule?

It is no secret that college basketball has become a one year showcase for many freshman looking to enter the NBA draft. This is happening at all of the big time programs across the country, most notably the University of Kentucky. The rule that players must wait at least one year after high school before they can declare for the NBA draft seems pointless to me. Players without a doubt get a lot better in college, but how much of a difference can one year make? There are great coaches in the NBA too. I think the NBA should either get rid of the rule, or make it like the NFL, where players must complete their junior year before being able to declare. Recently coach Rick Pitino of Louisville said that he thought there is no point in holding back players from going straight to the NBA is that' what they want to do. We'll see what happens in the future, but I would be very surprised if this rule is not revisited often over the next six months and potentially revised.
