Any player who stays in college is a retard

[Aidz]

Myth #1: You develop your game more with that extra year.

Reality: Where do you think you're going to learn more about being an NBA player? Practicing/playing against NBA players every day or holding the ball for 35 seconds before shooting a 3-pointer from the free throw line while being defended by a 6'3 white power forward in the NCAA?

Myth #2: You mature as a man.

Reality: Being in college doesn't somehow make you more mature. Travelling the country with grown men with real experience is more beneficial. If you're a childish jackarse that's not going to change - just like if you're mature it's not going to change.

Myth #3: Winning in college means something.

Reality: No, it doesn't.

Myth #4: You might get picked higher next year.

Reality: So what? You just missed out on 5 mill so you can go top 5 instead of top 10. Big deal.

Myth #5: You can study.

Reality: Ever head of distance ed? Ever heard of part time. Shit, college is 12 hours a week at best. Let's not kid ourselves.

Reality BONUS ROUND: Just watch what happened to Kevin Ware. Now look at Andrew "No Knees" Bynum. Went straight from school and guaranteed millions. If you opt-in I hope you break your spine because you deserve it for stupidity.

They're actually literally the opposite

Myth #1 isn't entirely false. If you go to a program with a good coach who doesn't mind putting winning on the back burner to develop future star players.

Unfortunately not many coaches are willing to do that today.

You wonder what kind of legacy a guy like Duncan could have had if he came out early like a lot of his peers. (3+ extra years on his resume, especially with how ridiculously good he was in his first pro years).

On the other hand why don't you consider that staying and developing in college helped Duncan's legacy? He came into the league pretty much fully developed, if he had 2 or 3 years tacked on the beginning of his career where he wasn't very good, wouldn't that tarnish his legacy, not help it? Plus who knows how that could have effected his development, a lot of these guys who came straight out of high school or one year of college have loads of talent but had their developments screwed up to the point where they never come close to their true potential.

It is crazy to think about, hes alrdy solidified himself as way ahead of Kobe all time, and with three less years in the league to do it. Remarkable.

Get dem checks and worry about the rest later.

The biggest thing about staying in college is risking injury which could lower your draft stock and earning potential. Who would want to pay millions of dollars to someone who has had ACL surgery already at age 19?

Basically, this^

You don't know what's going to happen tomorrow (injury, car accident, etc.) so take the money now and worry about everything else later.

Besides, you can always go back to college once you've secured the millions.

don't you have a bigger image, maybe I can print it on a billboard?

retards like jabari like to be pimped by the ncaa

Myth #3: Winning in college means something.

Reality: No, it doesn't.

You don't get to determine that. If NCAA success is important to someone then your opinion means squat. It's not for others to tell players what is and is not important to them.

Tim Duncan was a retard?

I'm hoping Embiid stays for 3 years at least and works on a post game. I've been dying for a legitimate big man prospect to come into the league for a long time now.

These raw ass big men get to the league and the coaches/training staff don't have the patience to develop them into post players. They work on an elbow jumper, a baseline shot, FT's, and other shit, but not shit that will help them DOMINATE the game like big men of our past

You are right. Players develop much better in the NBA, not college (82 vs 30 games, year round practice vs practice limits, superior competition vs inferior competition). Also if you stay in college you waste one year of your NBA career and one year of your NBA salary. Father age does not delay itself by one year just because you chose to waste one potential NBA year in college. Not to mention your risk a career ending injury and a bachelors degree is useless especially for an athlete you has no time but to take the easiest possible major. And you are right college does not make you mature. It makes people immature actually.

The NCAA is a modern day plantation.
