Youre not wrong, but I think the truth is with both Love and Juzang -- their upside is limited. They may go and be second rounders with very little guaranteed. Its not like they are sure 1st rounders that can "go get that money."
So part of coming back is that, its having fun and enjoying college basketball, and trying to improve. But I think for both, coming back (twice) for juzang doesnt mean theyll get any better...or at least good enough to move the needle of their NBA draft status ---
