Message: [QUOTE="TBHreal, post: 5244401, member: 13988"] Anyone who says Liam should come back for another year does not know ball. If you’re a lock to be a first round pick, which comes with a guaranteed 2 years (plus 2 more team option years), you go. Period. The last pick (30th) in the first round makes 2.5m dollars in year 1. The last lottery pick (14th) makes 4.5m dollars in year 1. It could be said about almost every single player in the draft, especially freshman and sophomores, that coming back would make them better off as basketball players, especially as the 18-19yos get physically stronger and more athletic. What else would make them better off? Playing basketball full-time for an NBA franchise, even if it’s in the G league. As a fan, yes it sucks, but it’s about the paycheck and grabbing one of the 450 NBA jobs available when the opportunity presents itself. [/QUOTE]
