The NBA drafts off of potential.

why not stay in school one more year and take another shot at improving so that you do get drafted?
you answered your own question. NBA scouts have seen all they have to see. They know where they are at now and know young players will improve. They don't need to see anymore. The appeal to the young player is that he gets to devote himself to his sport and get paid while playing the game he loves.

If Mickey plays on a championship team next year and finishes games and makes free throws, I promise you he will get drafted. It will be all about momentum.
He is being shortsighted.
But, it isn't just about him. This kind of thinking is rampant. It is hard to imagine that Shaq came back for his junior year after winning National Player of the Year and averaging 27-28 ppg his Soph year. He came back because his parents valued education.
A different time, I guess.
