Boeheim is not a very good source on these things. He wants his players to stay and is very good at finding reasons they should. (Here, for example, is JB arguing that both Ennis and grant made the wrong decision, positions i think even the most anti-NBAers on this board have been hesitant to advance: [URL="https://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/2014/6/16/5814624/jim-boeheim-2014-nba-draft-syracuse-tyler-ennis-jerami-grant"]Boeheim's agenda rings hollow[/URL])

It’s true there is a ton of luck involved. But that doesn’t mean the process is random. You want to be a higher pick because 1) you get more money, (2) your chances of a guaranteed contract are higher, 3) the team has invested more in you. Things can go wrong or right in any slot. But you’d rather things go wrong after you’ve banked a couple million than before. Saying “well, there’s a lot of luck involved” is true of basically everything in life; it’s not a reason to avoid trying to make the best decision possible.
