I'm trying to put myself in Whaley's shoes.  If I'm a guy who's definitely on an NBA roster or in an NBA organization next year I probably bounce because, from a development standpoint, I'm going to improve more in that environment.  IW is not going to be on an NBA roster next season but he could be in the G League.  The question is whether you take the chance that you're in a pro organization next year with a great chance to develop against the risk that you end up bouncing from Qatar to Bulgaria to Greece or you take the sure thing and spend another year getting coached by Hurley, developing, and maybe taking one more shot at college glory.  I don't have enough insight into how he's thought of by people that matter so just based on the above considerations I'd probably lean toward another year in Storrs.

But honestly I'm so thrilled for the kid that pro ball is even an option and the letters "NBA" are being mentioned as a potential part of his future that I'll be happy for him no matter what he chooses.
