Money isn't everything. These guys are still kids. College can be a fun experience and should be enjoyed. Once they're in the NBA... that's it. That's their full time gig from now on.

And if these guys are the real deal, they're gonna be top picks regardless, either this year or next year. They'll get their money. Another season under their belts will improve their play and give GMs more tape to better decide their picks.

Although, I do have to wonder if the NBA records by the draft deadline will affect Parker's and Embiid's decision. Milwaukee is the favorite right now to pick #1. I doubt any of these kids dreamed of spending their entire careers in Milwaukee. But say the Lakers were really, really close to having that worst record... I could see that swaying somebody's mind

“I don’t know if I feel like I’m ready for all of this,” Embiid is quoted as saying, acknowledging his inability to drive a car, eat well, and other elements that go along with the pro game.


Homie needs to grow up pretty quick.

Bynum... 17... learned plenty of moves from Kareem and made many millions extra by not going to college. I disagree with this.

Bynum was so raw and unskilled back then when he first came out too.

One of the proudest moments...
