Better than the foolish fans that want as many LSU athletes as possible to leave early so they can get paid little now rather than lots later.
lol dude no one wants likeable athletes to leave their program. It's basketball, man. This just is what it is. It takes one team to tell a man he can live his dream as a 19 year old and then sometimes it doesn't a pan out. Quit being a negative nancy and just be happy the guy signed an nba contract.

I'm not negative. I'm a realist. And the reality is that Reid more likely than not would have made much more money had he stayed another year, or even two.
We used to tell football players not to declare early unless you're an expected 1st rounder; that become 2nd rounder; and now we tell them to go early if they are a 3rd rounder. When Fournette was a sophomore, I recall fans wanting the NFL to make a rule exception to allow him to go even earlier. That was ludicrous.
In basketball, the rosters are tiny, there are only 60 draft spots. It's a fricking honor to be drafted. If you're leaving early, or in a few years, foregoing college altogether, you should be damn certain you'll be drafted. An expected mid-2nd rounder out of 2 rounds should lean to returning to improve his stock and increase his likelihood of a more lucrative contract the following year. What happened to Reid is the equivalent of an expected 6th round football player going early, and then not getting drafted. Wouldn't be a shocker, would it?
