Couldn't disagree with this more.     There are no guarantees that he will stay two additional years and be better positioned to succeed in the league.    Far, far more guys are destined to get their try out and fail, then actually make an impact in the league.    If he can get a guaranteed 3 year contract, he should probably take it bank the money and work his butt off in the D league to try to make a place for himself.    Chances are whether he goes after this season or stays and goes after two more he is still going to be a D League and then Euro league guy.    The difference if he goes this year, is that he may be able to bank some cash thanks to the NBAs system which requires it to give 30 kids each year 3 year guaranteed contracts and its burning desire to give those contracts to underclassmen and Euros.

Do you really believe that Ennis or Grant would have fared better economically if they had stayed in school?    They'd certainly have had a few more years of college highlights and memories, but I don't believe that they would have been better positioned for longevity in the NBA because they stayed longer.
