The decision of when to leave for the NBA can make or break a players career. For some the pressure to leave forces them in too early before their stock is truly in the first round and before their skills are developed to make their way in the NBA. Others end up waiting too long ala Chris Marcus, Terence Morris or Chris Duhon and see their once first round stock plummet into the second round or even go undrafted by not showing improvement.
