of the spectrum here for consideration. But you can make a very good argument that if he comes back....

1. He's almost certainly drafted higher. How much higher depends and that's where they must make a judgement call.
2. He makes more money in the initial contract.
3. He spends less time in the DLeague.
4. He signs a free agent contract worth probably very close to the same money at age 23.

I have never disputed that any of that matters to the kid or the family. Only that they are very real considerations.
