I respect your opinion but would respectfully submit that finishing is the kind of thing you can improve on with another year or 2 of college, where athleticism is the thing you basically have or you don't.  I totally agree that Oshae is a long shot to get back to the league, his odds might have been better had he stayed another year, developed his skills and then earned a guaranteed contract that would have made him less likely to get cut.

Bridges from Nova is a nice example.  If he had left after his sophomore year like Oshae, he likely would have gone late second or undrafted.  Instead he stayed at Nova, got better, went in the lottery and is averaging 15 ppg in his third year in the league and will make tens of millions.  With a guaranteed deal he could brought along slowly with no fear of getting cut.  What GM is not going to have patience with a guy he spent a significant draft pick on?  If he had not improved as a junior he could have declared and been at worst where Oshae is now.
