1. "everybody" doesn't have lawyers and agents etc that take a huge cut from what they get...

2. and these guys are leaving school early and many don't finish...so they are saying that they are good for their future...

I'm not saying what they need to do...or that they are not doing way better than almost everyone else at their age...

but its a marathon not a sprint. how many former "stars" would likely do things differently as 40 or 50 year olds???

its about MAXIMIZING the opportunity...not saying they are doing poorly or criticizing ...just saying the players have the right to decide what is best for them but I'm betting a lot would do things differently given the chance to use hindsight...

even tyus battles dad apparently just told JB he maybe shoulda stayed...

i think you are getting it a bit twisted: I'm just saying there's more nuance in the decision-making process that might appear on the surface and that these decisions are not able to made with all the info...not that players need to be criticized for whatever decision that they do make...

BUT if they ONLY see money ...second round money and have a slim chance of sticking in the NBA...and it doesn't work out...well...its still all good...but it mighta been better...even for a first rounder who isnt truly ready its a hard call, imo...

it is a personal decision but we can observe that decision and judge it without it being a personal attack against the decision makers involved, imo.
