Message: [QUOTE="Walker11, post: 2184164, member: 380"] Hamidou has a pretty tough decision IMO but if he is going in the 20's, I think he has to go. The guaranteed money is just too much, especially for a guy who is all potential at this point. This is a guy who will have a 10 year career if he can become a 35% standstill 3 point shooter. I am not sure if that will be the case. His athleticism will definitely give him a good shot, just look at Derrick Jones. But NBA teams give up on their investments pretty easily nowadays. Going in the 20's and getting drafted by a good organization will do wonders for the kids career. He can not be expected to provide any impact until year 3. A kid like Dejounte Murray had his career saved by getting picked by the Spurs, as opposed to a team like the Nets. The college experience is just so damn fun, and especially for a kid who would be a top prospect at UK. He is going to be drowning in co-eds and we know how much ESPN will slurp him. He will get tons of hype and end up on the highlight reels on a weekly basis. Being such a big shot must feel amazing. If he goes to the NBA and never learns how to shoot, he will never have a second in the limelight and will be forgotten from history like a Ndudi Ebi. [/QUOTE]
