There's going to be a <i>lot</i> of talent coming out early, although to be fair few of them are real hulkers like him. I really can’t believe that Speights will land in the lottery this year.

If Speights doesn't impress, he would have done better by staying a year. 2: How many NBA players out there do you know who immediately invest all of their money in bank accounts? Actually, Major:

If he feels that he can't do anymore to help himself improve in college, he should go. But I agree, he should wait until he can become a lottery pick. By the way, Kenyon Martin is another exception to the "four-year" rule. Granted, the whole idea of the piece, KG, is that Mo needs to wait until he can improve his stock.

Very few of your top NBA stars are four year college players. The NBA drafts on potential and there isn't any guarantee that Speights will IMPROVE his stock by staying. In fact his statistics might go down or (more likely) stay the same when sharing time with a year older Tyus, Kenny Kadji, Eloy Vargas and Allen Chaney. If he were to still have the same conditioning and inconsistency issues next year his stock would drop. If he's a lottery pick he needs to go (top 14). Tim Duncan is the exception.
