Summarize this article for a 10 years old
The NBA high school draftees are players who have been drafted to the National Basketball Association (NBA) straight out of high school. The process of jumping directly from high school to the professional level is also known as going prep-to-pro. Since 2006, the practice of drafting high school players has been prohibited by the new collective bargaining agreement, which requires that players who enter the draft be 19 years of age or older and at least one year removed from high school.[1]
The NBA has long had a preference for players who played college basketball;[2] the vast majority of players to play in the NBA attended college beforehand.
