Message: [QUOTE="HW611, post: 5343998, member: 14096"] This is such a delusional fan perspective of the situation. Kid has two choices here. A. Get paid 1.3 million, get a chance to start at a school who receives plenty of exposure, and play for a coach who produces the best NBA players in all of college hoops when it comes to making money after college. B. Don’t get paid 1.3 million, high chance you don’t start and play and therefore setting his NBA clock back (because the younger you can get there the better), chance at a national championship. I’m not knocking a kid who’s #1 priority is taking care of his family short term and long term over winning a national championship. You’d be kind of be silly not to make that choice. For clarity, our kids here did not face that choice and situations are different so I’m not calling them silly. Just this specific situation. He’s collecting a bag and putting himself in the best position to hear his name called in the draft next year by playing for a coach who is committed to investing in him immediately. [/QUOTE]
