Because I've watched the NBA D league. It's often unwatchable. Unlike UD, where the team's success is your success, in the NBADL it's often a s**tshow. 1-on-1 garbage, big men playing foul line to foul line, "coaching" can be a very loose term, you could end up on a terrible team that doesn't try hard (making you look bad with them), and your success is largely dependent on people who
do not have a vested interest in your success because they want to be the guy getting the attention.
If Obi gets the ball 4x per game because the guards won't throw it to him when he's in position, and thus averages 6 points per game, and the coach says "well just keep working for the ball", then it was a wasted year.
Or he could stay at UD where he's going to be THE centerpiece of a very good team.
I'd say there are reasons to stay at UD. It's all the same facts, it's just a matter of which risks and rewards you give higher weight to.
Minor league baseball works much better this way: it's basically an individual game. Sure, the catcher can tell the batter a fastball is coming ("it hit the bull") but generally every player can be basically judged on their own merits.
