Noah was NEVER gonna be THE #1 overall pick.  He's Dennis Rodman without the baggage.   How's that choice working out for Mitch McGary?  Some guys chose to stay in college.  Its usually to up thier draft status. (See Fair, C.J.)  or they know the status isn't going to change and they want ot get a degree, because they are never gonna be basketball millionaires, or they just like college. J.M. MacAdoo cost himself $MILLIONS by staying.  HE also cost himself a huge amount of interest income.  The stock market was up almost 35% last year.  Assuming in 2 years he had stashed away $2,ooo,ooo.00 and assuming that his investmetns made 20%, not 35%, he lost out on an additional $400,000.00 this year, becausehe didn't leave after his freshman year,w hen he was a top 5-10 pick.  Now, he will be lucky to go mid to late 1st round, if he comes out this year.  NBA always prefers new and shiny.  Why, because in the 2nd contract, they have you for a longer period of your peak.
