Huge mistake, late 2nd round pick at best
If he wants to play overseas that's fine but he could've been a late first round, early 2nd next year
He's got a degree and won't improve his stock much. I'd do the same if I were him.

USTIN HAMILTON TO LEAVE LSU TO PURSUE PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL CAREER
BATON ROUGE – LSU center Justin Hamilton has announced that he will leave LSU following the end of the spring semester to pursue a professional basketball career.
Hamilton spent two years at LSU after transferring following his sophomore year at Iowa State. He practiced with the LSU team during his transfer season of 2010-11 and then played for the TIgers during the 2011-12 season, earning second-team All-SEC honors by the league coaches.
Hamilton played in all 33 games, starting 32, while averaging 12.9 points per game and 7.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, while averaging 30 minutes a game. He had 25 games in double figures with four double-doubles, highlighted by a 27-point performance at Florida and 23 points and 16 rebounds against Ole Miss.
“I would like to announce that I am leaving LSU for the NBA draft,” Hamilton said. “I would like to thank my coaches, the administration and all the teachers that have helped me along the way. They have all provided me with a great experience at LSU. I will graduate next month and I am getting married this summer. I am ready to take the next step in my life. Again, I would like to thank everyone that has helped me along the way and especially the fans here at LSU.”
Hamilton will graduate with a degree in sociology.
