Which reinforces the fact that you should take the guarenteeed money offered to you as soon as possible, lest you're flaws be uncovered.

Scenario 1.  You're not as good as you think (but others see potential) but you still try to get better by staying in school.  Staying in school revels to you, and everyone else that indeed you weren't as good as you thought and the potential went unrealized - paycheck = minimal

Scenario 2. You're not as good as you think (but others see potential) but enter the draft because you think you're ready.  NBA quickly reveals that indeed you weren't as good as you thought and you failed to improve enough to live up to potential.  - paycheck = a few million

Both Scenerios start with you not being as good as you thought, even though people can see potential, and end with not living up to expectations (yours and others).  But in one scenario you get paid and in the other you don't.

Moral of the story is the worse player you are, the more beneficial it is to jump if the league is dumb enough to pay you based on potential.

Go back to school and start life with a couple of million in the bank, not a bad way to start life.
