National Title Hopes vs. Money & Bitches

Spencer Hawes has a big decision to make. If he stays at UW for another year, they instantly become a Final Four contender. If he chooses to declare for the NBA Draft, he'll instantly become a millionaire. After my freshman year in college, the big choices I had to make were either McDonald's for dinner or drink the six pack of PBR in the fridge for dinner. And I usually chose the latter.

If the Huskies weren't my favorite CBB team, I really wouldn't care. But they are, so damnit its important. The way I see it, there is a clear choice that Hawes needs to make. He can stay at UW and be BMOC and fornicate with many beautiful college coeds. Or he can cash in on millions of dollars and fornicate with many beautiful NBA groupies.

I did some research on his possible draft position. I went to 10 draft prediction sites. Here's Hawes' position in each site's draft board:

1) NBADraft.net #11
2) HoopHype.com #6
3) Hoopsvibe.com #5
4) insidehoops.com #14
5) Chad Ford ESPN #8
6) mynbadraft.com #6
7) collegehoops.net #5
8) draftexpress.com #7
9) draftdaddy.com #4
10) hoopsaddict.com #16

Word is that Hawes will bail for the NBA if he is a solid top 10 pick. The average draft position of the 10 sites is around #8. Not looking too good for Dawg fans. What would be my advice to Hawes?

As a Husky fan:
Stay. The money will be there next year. You will be a top three pick next year. Also the Dawgs have a legit chance to make it to the Final Four with you on the roster. Think of all the hot college girls hanging all over you.

As a man:
Get your money. You could blow your knee out at anytime. Top 10 picks get big money guaranteed. Don't be an idiot. And you will get just as much tail or more in the league.
