New NBA commissioner Adam Silver already getting down to business, wants to increase the age limit to enter the league

Adam Silver may be new to the job but he's wasting no time getting things done the way he wants to. Silver recently took over as the new NBA commissioner with David Stern retiring last week and he has plans on making a big change.

Stern was highly scrutinized when he changed the rules and no longer allowed players to go straight from high school to the league and Silver is about to ruffle some feathers of his own.

Under Stern's new policy, players had to either spend a year in college or play overseas as the age limit to enter the league was increased to 19. Silver now wants to increase the age limit to 20-years-old.

According to The Source, this is a policy Stern had wanted to implement and as his longtime deputy, Silver is now pushing for that initiative.

"We would love to add a year, but that's not something that the players' association has been willing to agree to," Stern said in 2012. "They would probably say, 'What would you give us?'"

Scott Howard-Cooper weighed in on the topic sending out this tweet:

"Increasing the age limit to 20 is a priority for Adam Silver. It will be a topic of discussion once the union hires an executive director."

But this new policy doesn't necessarily work in favor of the students. Anyone who follows college basketball can attest that players who have a breakout freshman year and predicted lottery pick often fall the longer they stay in college.

Interesting to see how this will play out.
