I base my opinion on his family situation as well. If you could pull down 350,000-500,000 a season in Europe your first season and you have a child would you leave college to do it? By the end of next season he may develop into a solid 2nd round NBA pick. Who know? I just think he will leave prior to the end of his eligibility due to obligations. Again, strictly opinion.
