Sometimes landing on a tanking team can be good for our NBA hopefuls. I still remember the Sixers tanking so hard during the mid 2010s they actually had Jakarr Sampson running a little point guard😂

JaKarr is a good example for non draftees to keep their heads up. 7 years in the league, after his first 2 seasons with Philly, spent time with Denver, Sacramento, Chicago and Indy.

Interesting observations about and from RJ, as well as other draft notes:

RJ Luis miscalculates market, transfers attract attention and more takeaways after 2025 NBA Draft

The early data on the 2025 NBA Draft is eyebrow-raising for the 2024 recruiting class and the 2024 transfer portal haul

"Say I go back to college, I get a large amount of money, but then what?"

Then you can sleep a little better at night knowing you have developed an adult size nest egg before you even enter the professional work force.

I get where he's coming from. He figures that his stock is never going to be higher. If he comes out now he has a chance to be drafted, and if he doesn't get drafted he has a shot of playing his way in. Whereas if he waits another year he banks more money now, but his stock will not improve and may go down, and thus reduces his chances of being drafted or of a team giving him a serious chance to play his way in (due in part to age).

So he decided to seize the moment with the best chance of potential success, and he was willing to give up the surer money to do that.

I am not saying it is the decision I would have made or advised my kid to make, but then I tend to be risk-averse. But if he believes in himself and wants to bet on himself and pursue his dream, that's his choice. Hope it works out for him.
