Unfortunately some of those guys also have some folks around them filling their heads with "oh you'll get drafted higher" and shite like that. Daniel Orton is a good example of someone who should've stayed a year to get some PT (he was never going to play over Demarcus Cousins) but his Dad had him convinced he was better than Cousins and should leave early.
To be fair Orton sucked and might've ended up like J'Mison Morgan if he stayed. And he did get drafted in the 1st so it wasn't just his dad blowing smoke up his arse.

I dunno. He wasn't that big of a headcase or anything, just a pain in the arse. Worst case he may have had to sit for grades though.

And is on his third team in about 3 years. He'd have been much better off coming back a year IMO.
