Why would Whaley only have a six year window of making good money playing overseas?
Just a guess....the point was pro athletes don't have 20-30 year careers to make money so 23 is probably about as late as you want to start. The average NBA career is 4 years or so; European you may be right that the average is longer than 6.

One thing I'd like to point out about Tyler Polley. He has by far the best turnover percentage in the Big East, meaning he commits the fewest turnovers per 100 plays. Thats discipline. 2020-21 Big East Conference Season Summary | College Basketball at Sports-Reference.com
Per 100 plays he touches the ball or just 100 team offensive plays? If it's the latter that makes sense since he doesn't touch the ball a lot except to shoot from the 3 point line on catch and shoots. So he doesn't have the ball very long most of the time.

The only one i hope comes back is Whalley but if he has an opportunity to make money overseas he should go. If he comes back though our already loaded front court is even more loaded. We definitely start the season top 10.
