Last summer, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said that by 2021 he thinks the league will revert to its old system of allowing high school players to turn pro.

In the meantime, players must be a year removed from high school and 19 years old to declare.

Here’s a look at 10 players in the 2019 class that are most likely to be one-and-done.

School: Oak Hill Academy Pos: Point Guard Ht/Wt: 6-3/175 College: Uncommitted Noteworthy: Anthony, son of former NBA point guard Greg Anthony, is one of the most gifted scorers in the country regardless of class, with elite athleticism and a high basketball IQ. Photo: Aguall Studios

School: Montverde (Fla.) Academy Pos: Forward Ht/Wt: 6-9/200 College: Undecided Noteworthy: Achiuwa is a versatile forward who can knock down the perimeter jump shot, create his own shot and finish efficiently in the lane.Photo by Elsa/Getty Images

School: Holy Spirit Prep (Atlanta) Pos: Shooting Guard Ht/Wt: 6-5/215 College: Uncommitted Noteworthy: Edwards is quick and fast with elite athleticism, NBA range and the ability to finish in the lane through traffic.

Position: Forward Ht/Wt: 6-10/260 College: Duke Noteworthy: At his size, Carey can handle the ball, find the open man, dominate facing up or with his back to the basket, get into the lane and drain the perimeter jump shot.
