Dion made the right decision, same as Donte & Jonny.
If Wall St or some corporation offered me a 7-figure contract after my soph year, I would've signed no questions asked.
Its only the myopic fan perspective that forgets the number$ being thrown around.
Why stay if there's a chance to work in his chosen profession, for millions of dollars...NOW!
What, because he needs to take more classes, ie; games, in order to improve his "positioning"?
Tennis players, baseball, gymnasts, et al- all leave to pursue careers as teenagers, and not all of them are guaranteed success.
But if they are companies willing to sponsor them as they "develop", they turn pro, even if the vast majority don't pan out.
Why is this any different?
CBB is an audition, a literal resume that these kids present to pro leagues in the hopes of receiving a job offer.
Its no coincidence that PayPalCal is crushing it at UK- he simply offers the best players a chance to highlight their resume. UK is the biggest Job Fair/audition in CBB...and like it or not, cynical or not, that's the new formula for success.
