Wow, this is crushing.
I mean, clearly he has NBA talent but in under any other circumstances it made sense for him to continue developing in college.
BUT, if -- according to your calculations -- there will be no college sports in '20-'21 (which, actually, I think may be right), it probably makes sense to go *someplace* and be playing competitive basketball, even if it's playing in a D-league, or Europe or wherever.
It makes less sense for Stanford athletes because of the education and experience they get, and the community they deepen their ties with -- even if done online. But for so many college athletes in fall-winter sports, if they aren't taking their classes seriously, why sit idle for a year?
