Key financial incentive is to get to the open market as quickly as possible, get beyond the constraints of the rookie wage scale and maximize earnings. If a player feels he can continue to develop his skills at the same rate in the D League or as the 15th man on an NBA roster and he has no burning desire to get a degree, you go as soon as you feel assured you can get a couple of years at that level of pay and start the clock. No one leaves college thinking they will wash out in two years and not continue to improve to the point that they will be an NBA All-Star. [/QUOTE]
