And while he may be able to succeed just fine playing overseas without an education, I’m reminded of 2 sayings from my youth:
-A fool and his money are soon parted. (Dr. John Bridges)
-I pity the fool! (Mr. T)

Agree with all of this ^ and add this thought: The one thing KA has - that other physically talented players don't have in a similar "potential NBA talent career" - is a big brother with a $100 million dollar contract. If KA has a career ending injury next year... no degree... he likely can live off his brother the rest of his life. Not a bad insurance policy. And I'm sure his brother told him that.
