I don't disagree. Can be life changing money and if you're good enough you can always come back and finish a degree if that's important. I just think some of these players hear the chatter, get bad advice, and wash out of the G league in 2 years. I don't know the stats behind it but I'm guessing given the number of spots in the NBA that it's more often the case that these guys wash out go play in an overseas league than make it to the NBA. BRob made it happen from overseas so who knows but maybe that is also atypical, but he also finished his degree.
