In his first statement he says "if the opportunity for the NBA comes along, I have to take it". In his second breath, he says "four years of college are the best years of your life". If any of these kids actually meant the second statement, it would make the first part a moot point. But it's all about money, even at age 19-20. That's the world we live in.
