Google is your friend, but don't expect it this year. Martin will be, but Mickey may want to invest in his degree, because he'll be working at Mickey d's if he leaves early

Before you bash a kid or speak, you do realize unlike the NFL, there are alternatives to the NBA, that pay extremely well.

So at the minimum Mr. Mickey has a $150,000 job waiting for him, whenever he wants. So yes it is understood, if it is goal and dream to play in the NBA that wont happen for atleast 3-4 years of development. Most kids in college if given an offer north of $100K for the next 3-4 years minimum would be unwise not to take it and return to school. Before you say, what are the chances he actually comes back and gets his degree, I dont know the guy personally, but others like Shaq that never needed to do it, came back and finished.

These student athletes do have families, and no man should ever question another man's decision to want to provide and help his family, and if the only avenue is playing basketball half way around the world so be it.
