Each individual each player is unique. There are so many factors involved. Today the NBA drafts are potential centric. My two cents is that if you are a young player and blessed to be deemed to have the coveted potential by the NBA enter the draft. If however you are outside of this sphere of luck buckle down and improve as much as possible while you enjoy the college life and make sure that you get your degree and possibly masters as your odds of making the NBA are slim. 
The kids who do well seem to be in one of two groups.
1: Early entries. Blessed by the NBA as having potential. Malachi is a perfect example. He will have earned 4-5 million. Hopefully banked 1m or more and will end up making an additional 1-2 million offshore. After that who knows.
2: Degree guys who get better and by playing 4 years at a program like SU create awareness which leads to a nice offshore gig as well as having the degree to fall back on later.
The tweeners are the ones who seem to have a rough time. No degree, no brand awareness for offshore, floundering in the G league hoping for a shot against very long odds.
