I wonder how involved these conversations get (with JB about going Pro or not)?

Like, since I'm a numbers guy, I'd have had a grad student (or hire an outside financial/consulting firm to) project out scenarios about how much one can earn in he NBA - various scenarios being:

1.)  If you go to NBA "little too early" & don't get 2nd contract vs

2.)  If you go to NBA "little too late" & miss out/delay starting your career vs

3.)  If you go to NBA at "peak" of your skills/lotto projection & get to 2nd contract/stay in league for years vs

4.)  If you return to college and suffer an injury, ect

I'd have projected career earnings next to each of these scenarios (also have some real-life examples of each of these scenarios to bring point home), to more clearly illustrate all the different things the kid/family may want to consider before making this decision.

When dealing with people who are looking at bottom line (money), maybe helping them to see more clearly how leaving at peak of their skills & lotto projection may be better off (long-term) financially than leaving simply at peak of lotto projection.
