Hypothetical of the week #1

[pass1st]

Case: College first or NBA?

Let's assume high schoolers were allowed to join the NBA after graduation still and you were a heavily scouted prospect, any position you want. You have a lot of raw talent, no health issues and had your choice of any college you want or being getting drafted to your favorite team as a reserve. The catch is, if you go to college you do it for four years (until you're 21). Although, once finishing college you're drafted #1 to a team that's a rival to your favorite team, but as a starter and the team makes you their centerpiece.

Do you immediately go to your favorite team and work for minutes or refine your skills in college and be the franchise player for a team you rooted against when you watched NBA? Both teams become contenders the moment you join.

btw why would i be a bench player because i was drafted out of hs? that doesn't make sense, if i was getting drafted out of hs it's because i obviously have some kind of star potential and if my team becomes a contender because of my presence, why would i have to compete for bench minutes?

Welp, look at Kobe. His first two years was being a bench player, so just assume you get drafted by a team looking to develop you instead of turn you into an instant star.

some players got drafted out of highschool straight away and made the certerpiece of their teams immediately, examples such as garnett and kobe. even if you only play as a reserve on an nba team it's still a better choice then wasting a few years in a college imho, you can access top training facilities playing for an NBA team, while earning good $
