If your not gonna be a top 5 pick, why the hell wouldn't you go to college. You get better, more experience, and chances are your career will start off a lot quicker, just look at guys like Tim Duncan, 4 years in college and never has had a bad season yet.

most senoirs is this years draft we second rounders. So alot of underclass men and high schools are doing the right dissision.

And the latter causes problems for both the university and themselves. I don't blame the kids for coming out most of the time.

If Okafor improves his offensive game again this season then Davis wouldn't be able to touch him. Davis is a great prospect and all, but Okafor right now is better and with a better offensive game would be untouchable as the best prospect.
Don't sleep on these guys: Tiago Splitter 6-10 SF - He played really good for Brazils NT recently. If he's playing that well for TAU Ceramica in Spain next season, he'll be a top3 pick for sure. Andrew Bogut 6-11 PF - He's the MVP of the Junior World Championships (posted monster stats: 26.3 ppg, 17.0 rpg). If he turns pro after a Carmelo-like freshman year at Utah, he'll be in the lottery as well.

The Nets are taking in Ivan Chiriaev according to the Mock Draft. Pretty good pic IMHO. They need to stock up on young guys. Especially at center. Okafor showed that he can improve his offense. From 7.9 to 15.9 ppg. He needs to work on his assists though. Plus, I'm sure he can't keep up his 4.7bpg avg. in the NBA.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting olskoolFunktitude:</div><div class="quote_post">the money is too big a temptation. but perkins is just gonna be a disaster. he sucks</div> I'm really not sure if such an accessment is warranted. I was at the '97 draft, and I could'nt believe the Raptors picked up some scrawny kid from Mt. Zion HS, and for a couple years I would regularly tear on him and that O'Neal kid playing at Portland U. But look at them now. Perkins may only have marginal talent and be an Ervin Johnson or Toni Battie type center, but that's neither here nor there when he hasn't played half a season yet. I think some of these kids coming out for a couple years and then leaving programs after one or two strong seasons often hurts the program more than it helps it(Carmelo is far and away the exception and not the rule).
A lot of the times it is the programs choice to recruit these kids who only spend a year or two in the NCAA. The coaches choose to waste scholarships (though I think waste is too strong of a word) on the players that they KNOW are going to leave early. Of course there are guys that aren't expected to leave but do leave, however, a majority of the time I don't believe that to be the case.
