I can't fault anyone who is a legit lottery pick from leaving early, freshman, soph or junior.  It's too risky not to - not so much from an injury perspective as it is that weaknesses in your game may be exposed as permanent weaknesses if you stay in college longer.  It's better to get to the pros, get the payday, and if you flame out so be it.  Nothing but upside as far as I'm concerned in that decision and you can always go back and complete your degree.  This obviously takes for granted that you will manage your money properly (which the statistic I posted above shows is far from a given).

If Ennis is going to be a guaranteed lottery pick, it's a good decision.

There's a big difference between deciding to go when you're a guaranteed lottery pick and what Donte Greene did.  He would have been better served by staying rather than going, because I really couldn't see him not being a late first round pick after his Soph or Jr year.  I understand he had an immediate financial need but he seriously sacrificed his future for it.
