Fair enough.
But your entire premise is based on the subjective assumptions that:
(a) He improves his draft stock by having a big year.
(b) He doesnt get injured, and/or become academically ineligible, or something else prevents him from playing (NCAA suspension, etc.).
(c) He'd get better by staying at SU, versus having access to superior training and coaching at the professional level (NBA/D-League/Euro-League).
(d) He doesn't want/need and is willing to wait for the $850k right now, as opposed to a year from now.

As TMInside points out, theres no real way to get a definitive answer- every case is different. Which is why, for better or worse, the player making the decision has the final say...its their choice and their decision.
Whatever "outcome" we'd consider a failure, may not be so for most of these guys. And, I submit that getting paid to play professionally versus staying and "hoping" for a bigger jackpot, is the better decision. JMHO
