Message: [QUOTE="dollarbill44, post: 147326, member: 686"] He was a 1st round pick, but he hasn't been a 1st round talent. Paul Harris was good at driving to the hoop and finishing with contact - in college. It doesn't always translate to being able to do it in the NBA. If he gets drafted high and makes a ton of $$$, great for him and he made the right choice. I just think that too many kids take the quick payday now and in 2-3 years, they are flushed out because their teams couldn't wait around for them to polish up their game to the point it would have been had they spent 2 years more in college and then had a much longer NBA career. It's hard to say no to the money, but sometimes you could make a LOT more of it with just a little bit of patience. [/QUOTE]
