It absolutely is but I wonder if you asked Liam McNeeely who like Mullins was a 5 star recruit and is where Mullins is likely to be drafted if he comes out, if he would rather have been at UCONN or having played 30 games, started 0, has been averaging 12 minutes, 4 points in Charlotte making his 2.8 Million. I wonder if you really ask him his honest opinion what he would have preferred. If you ask me, especially with NIL and how times have changed, I'd have stuck around and tried to improve my draft stock, earned some money, maybe not 2.8Mil. I understand too how going early optimizes their earning potential but sometimes it's better to stick around. I know this is all likely a moot point as Mullins is likely going just wondering if it really is in his best interest to leave now or stick around.
