The ASSUMPTION that keeps being made is - IF these kids stayed in school for another year, they'd somehow be [FONT=courier new]more ready to play Pro ball.  [/FONT]
Because - [FONT=courier new]reasons.  :rolleyes: [/FONT]

And that is specious, at best.

The converse is the known reality - they left, and [B]THEY GOT PAID.  [/B]
SOMETHING is better than NOTHING.

Guys like KrisJo and CJ had great, 4 year college careers.  
Staying another year (or 2!) did exactly nothing for their draft profiles, except make them 1-2 years older, and closing the window on how much more upside 'potential' they might have.

Tyus came back for a 3rd year (thank GOD for us!!), and if anything, his draft stock went down.

There is ZERO guarantee that guys like Ennis, CMac, Mali, Lydon, would have: 
A - even gotten drafted in the first place, had they returned
B - done better in the draft, and/or in their subsequent NBA careers, had they come back.
