My question would be this:
What is the difference, financially, between:
1. Leaving after this NCAA season, as a "college bench player, averaging 15ppg, but with NBA potential" and being drafted at the end of the first round/beginning of the second round; versus
2. Starting next year, on a top 10 team, leading SU in scoring, and being drafted in the top 10? 
 
I completely understand that some kids just aren't on college teams because they want to be students. From the above comments, this seems to be the case. But, Dion really needs another year with us. For his game, and for his maturation and development process. Of course, if he's already disconnected with the 'college experience,' another year may not bring that type of personal growth. And, of course, for a 20-year old, the amount of money a first-rounder makes, versus a second-rounder might not be a practical consideration. To them, it's all 'big money' and the kid may not want to put the academic work in. To an adult, "it's just one more year." But to a student, that's a long time. If i knew then what i know now, i would not have been so resistant to the idea of grad school. Back then, though, two more years was a big, big whoop.
