[QUOTE="3 point girl, post: 1537519, member: 584617"] What a lot of people overlook is that physical maturity/skills is only part of the makeup for a successful professional basketball player, whether it is G league, NBA, or overseas. My first 2 years of college didnt prepare me for my chosen field. It did help me mature & learn how to be on my own, schedule my time wisely, & learn how to interact with peers/profeesors. These kids are on their own on the road at least 50% of the time with grown men way past their maturity level. Alcohol, drugs, & women are at their feet daily. Lots of professional athletes, not just basketball, cant handle the mental aspect & lose their way. [/QUOTE]
