And at 21 he will be able to drive that nice ride to very nice night clubs where women will throw themselves at him thinking he’s a big time player. Right now playing basketball is more attractive than being disciplined and taking care of academics. When you don’t have a solid base of discipline, it won’t take long to prefer late nights out at clubs rather than early morning training sessions or practice. In a year and a half at UD, Kostas showed us more “lack of discipline” examples of his character than flashes of a big league potential basketball player. This is a young man who needs the discipline of a college program like UD that requires student athletes to take care of the student portion of that equation.

And for the record, I heard that 60-80% of pro athletes are broke within 5 years of leaving their sport. By the time you pay taxes and your agent 7-10%, you get less than half. If you’re supporting family and buying nice rides and multiple homes it doesn’t take long to blow it all.
