I would be willing to bet at least 5 out of the top 10 players taken should 
have stayed in college but the money is too tempting.  They all could use a 
year or two more, but you need to be able to spot the talent and slowly 
give them time, not dump them into the starting role like Billups, 
especially when there is a position change also.
