With Dion, I think whether he made a sound decision, or not, will be determined by his work ethic. People talk about getting to the second contract, but if a player isn't an immediate stud or show's little to no improvement in his first two years, the second contract won't be there. In college, coaches have a vested interest in making you better and, therefore, will help you work on your game. In the pros it's all on the player. If you don't get better, they just find your replacement. If Dion accepts constructive criticism (something he probably learned to do in the last two years, a good reason for the mandatory college rule) and works on his game he'll be fine. If he thinks he's made it and gets lazy he'll be forgotten. I'm inclined to think his freshman year taught him some work ethic and he'll be fine. If he can continue to improve his shot, I'm thinking a Ben Gordon type guy.
