Is Going Pro the Right Decision?

If you were given the opportunity to fulfill your life dream, would you take it? Duke University’s superstar freshman point guard Kyrie Irving sure will. On April 6^th the 6-2 point guard declared he would enter the 2011 NBA Draft. I, like all Duke fans, would love if Kyrie decided to stay at Duke, but I also see why he would choose to leave. He is projected to be in the top three picks of the upcoming draft and some mock drafts even have him going as the first overall pick. For a kid who has dreamed about playing in the NBA all his life that is a tough offer to turn down. I think the most important reason for him to return to school is to finish receiving his education, although if he leaves he can still get his degree like many other athletes who left college early have done. His NBA stock status right now is as high as possible and if he stays in college he is risking the chance of getting hurt and losing value in the future. In addition to that he can start earning a living now instead of waiting another three years. Some people say he is not ready for the NBA because his season was extremely short this year, but in the short time he played he showed how he is obviously a great basketball player. He averaged over seventeen points and four assist per game. His ability to drive into the lane, pass, and hit the outside shots are signs that he has the capabilities to be a solid NBA player. Going to the NBA has more pro’s than con’s for Mr. Irving so I respect his decision and wish him the best.
