If you had a son that had the season that Malachi did, what would you be advising him to do?

I'd tell him he should definitely test the waters, but don't hire an agent.  What does he have to lose?  If he tests the waters and the feedback he receives is that he'd be a borderline 1st rounder and could slip into the 2nd round, then I'd tell him he should stay.  If he tests the waters and the feedback he receives indicates that he'll be picked in the top 20, he should go.  Obviously, the ultimate decision should come from him, but it's silly to not go if all signs point to being selected somewhere in the mid first round.  And this is coming from a die hard SU fan that's not economically challenged.  I just really believe that if he's guaranteed mid-first round money, he should take it... you never know what next year could bring. I realize we all want him to come back, but when I hear people say that he needs to develop more, I kind of chuckle.  To think a player can't develop in the NBA when there's unlimited resources to practice and train and you'd be playing against the top players in the world is comical.  Just my 2 cents!
