[QUOTE="Efrem Winters fan, post: 1523169, member: 746176"] Count me in the group of people who say stay in college. So many of these kids have dreams of one-and-done. It's good to dream but there are many more kids who have it in their minds that they are elite talents or are hyped as one-and-done than exist in reality. Part of the thinking seems to be centered on "burning" a year of playing time in college that could have been played professionally but if you ACTUALLY make it to the NBA and stay for say 5 or 6 years even, you are better off getting the extra developmental experience AND degree playing in college rather than risking a G-league or overseas career where your exposure is more limited. If you are good enough you will get minutes and get noticed. I think the reason many players who aren't talented enough enter the NBA draft after their freshman years decide to leave is that they don't want to put in the study time. It doesn't speak well to the work ethic. Only the Uber talented can get away with evading this harsh reality. [/QUOTE]
