Stay in NBA Draft or get paid in school? The biggest decisions impacting college hoops
The best development for college basketball this offseason is the number of players who in years past would’ve left to become first-round NBA picks — but who instead are returning to school.It’s no secret why: money. According to industry chatter, most high-major starters are set to earn at least $1 million next season, with players good enough to go pro liable to make several times that. Rising prices in the college basketball marketplace eventually lead to an inevitable either-or question: Would you rather be selected 25th overall — and make just under $2.5 million as an NBA rookie, per the league’s wage scale — or make more than that to star for a college team with championship dreams?Advertisementالمصدر: The Athletic | Source: The Athletic
