I think CT Flyer said it - the window of opportunity is limited.

One thing that could be a draw to Obi though is that he'll be 2 full years through UD at the end of this school year. He stays at least 2 more years (through his redshirt Junior season) and he has a college degree completed and gets 2 more years of development where he'll be "The Man" as opposed to the 12th player on an NBA roster or just another guy on a G-League team, or playing overseas. I don't know how important that degree is to him or what his major is, but it could be a factor. Basketball isn't forever, and there will be a lot of years to live once basketball is done.
