Charles Barkley believes that the NBA's age limit needs to be raised even higher.

His proposed limit would mandate players be two years removed from high school or have two years of college prior to entering the league.

"I have always thought the longer they stay in college, their level of play will improve," Barkley told the Boston Globe. "You go to college to learn how to play.

"When you are in high school, you're just good because you are bigger, stronger, and faster than everybody else. You should go to college to learn how to play. They are bypassing that, and it hurt the NBA for a long time.

"The NBA is back on the upswing but there was a few years where we had a bunch of talented players who didn’t have a clue how to play."
