And one other thing, I don't really care whether or not he makes a ton of money in the NBA. I just hope that he is successful because he represented LSU well when he was here and I really enjoyed watching him play during his 2 years here.

no, the point is (ok, my point is) that he will likely lose out on much money and a financially secure life. if he goes where projected, he'll have to earn a spot on the roster and earn a good second contract--financial security is just a dream now. dont be stupid enough to know he will make it in the nba. he may not.
