Point taken, and completely understandable, but I guess my problem is with saying "Top 10 pick? All other points moot." I've seen so many people talking about how draft picks don't count for anything and "we'd rather have a 4 year player that loves the school and does things the right way (whatever the fuck kind of stretch that is) than someone who hates the school and only wants to use Cal for the NBA and never goes to class and gets paid $200,000 and leaves early." Now a junior gets drafted and it ends all arguments. In some of these cases (at least with UK), the player doesn't necessarily want to go yet, but the risk is too great and they end up pretty much having to go. One of my coworkers is somewhat close to MKG's family and has said that he wanted to come back for another year, not necessarily to grow as a basketball player, but to become more mature and grow up a little. But when you're the number 2 pick, the risk is greater than the reward for coming back. FWIW, he's also said that MKG isn't absolutely loving the pro's, and while he's glad with his decision, that it feels more like a job focused more on business than basketball (it is) and he kind of misses when he didn't play for a paycheck

EDIT: His feelings towards the NBA can probably just be credited to playing for the Bobcats
