I'm not suggesting it's the best route to his destination. I'm just saying the confluence of factors in the Pro/Cons list makes it not "nuts" as the previous poster said. 
Duke is just different. Regardless of how much zone duke played this year, they still don't have the same stigma we have. And add to the + column for duke, you're expecting to finish 1 or 2 in the league. You're expecting to have three guys drafted in the top 10. You're expecting to practice against 7 other McD guys. Nate James prolly has a better resume as a bigs coach than... whoever we have.

Hope it's not a trend, but if there are no restrictions for how much money companies can pump directly into a recruit's hands, i'm not sure why it won't be. A LOT of kids would rather go straight to the nba and avoid the classroom, compliance, and dorm rooms. If they can get $50k+ cash for a season and not have to take Astronomy 101, why not? It's unfortunate for us that it was our player who will be the test rabbit.
