Eh, it's a wash. The middle Baller has never projected to be an NBA prospect as is, so at least he could make some money.
LaMelo would likely be ineligible because of the shoe, and there's already enough visibility on him that he wouldn't need a big college program to attract attention from the NBA. A couple years playing in Europe until he's draft eligible would likely be better for his game in the long run then a one and done in college anyways.
