Answer 1

If you could tape yourself playing some basketball and send it to some colleges or other teams, that would help your chances, but the NBA probably won't take you unless you have at least played some kind of basketball in your high school or college career.  You just need to get exposure right now.  Try looking up different clubs, or leagues in your area.  Also, look on the internet for college exposure camps/tournaments.  They might not all be the best colleges in attendance, but at least you can get a start.

Answer 6

No I don't think you can. I remember clearly David Stern posted a new rule that any athletics who want to get drafted or come to play in the nba must complete 1 year of college.

Answer 7

Highly unlikely, unless you got so much talent that the NBA cannot resist signing you.

Answer 9

I think first you have to study to have good result in high school. By this way you can choose a good college or UC that has a good team basketball. Almost basketball players in NBA is from famous UC. In addition, you can check your ability. Now you should practice hard and study well. May you be successful.
