it's a simple thought process, if you are first ground grade go to the draft, if you aren't then you have room to improve

I wonder if they got better offers from the nba or Wade?

Honestly, BB players could make bank with NIL. They might have made more on a good LSU BB team. Might start seeing more guys staying now..

Acts driven by selfishness and not the brain, which I wouldn't expect these players to use that. Come back a year, dominate, and sign a $5 mil contract. Now, you'll make $100k a year for 2 to 3 years, then be done. It's really not that hard. Use brain, not be selfish for immediate gratification.

Their prospects would not be any better next year.

Selfish? You sound like a moron. Smart was at LSU for 3 years with all the investigation talk all the time, he helped LSU win an SEC title in his first year and led the SEC in assists per game and 3-point % last year while LSU went on a nice run in the post-season in the SEC tourney, etc. He could come back and have a worse year and get no shot at anything. The truth is that You selfishly want him back at LSU.
