If he stays one more year, is featured guy and gets taken #15 overall the following year, he could have made $12M with a 4-year contract. It’s a gamble, and he may have made the right decision. But people saying he made a mistake are looking at it from this perspective. Also, maybe that one extra year of being the guy allows him to develop better than the less structured pro way. Maybe he gets a second contract. Look at Dion Waiters. He wasn’t that much better than Malachi was in college, IMO. [/QUOTE]
