I know it's common for guys to leave but in most cases it's a bad choice.  I'm sure Ellenson made a bunch of money as the 18th pick so it's understandable that he left early.  But the other guys you listed are another story.  Lewis had improved greatly in one year under Shaka; he likely would've benefited greatly from staying.

In retrospect, the Pistons made a terrible decision in drafting Ellenson.  He never contributed for them.  Poor drafting is why they've been terrible for a decade.

Guys leaving too early is bad for both college and pro ball.

It's definitely a terrible choice for fans, who want players to stay as long as possible. As to whether it's a terrible choice for players, that's a case-by-case situation.

I wasn't commenting on how smart the choice might or might not be. I just get a kick out of fans using "readiness" as a gauge to whether or not a player will leave. It quite often has not been an issue in the player's mind.

Now, NIL already has played a role for some of these guys, and maybe it will help Marquette keep some players longer than would have been the case in the pre-NIL days. We'll see!
