What if Mills had stayed in College?
I remember last year prior to Mills getting drafted there was a lot of talk about whether he should have stayed at St. Marys for one more year.
In hindsight he may have been better off staying in college for a couple of reasons:
1. St. Marys ended up playing in the NCAA tournament this year - which would have given him even more exposure (although this could also have impacted negatively on his stock if he had a bad tournament with lots of porr decisions and turnovers)
2. The PG's drafted in the first round in 2010 were Wall, Bledsoe and Vasquez and that's it. Compared to his draft in 2009 where he was up against Rubio, Flynn, Curry, Jennings (All top 10), Holiday, Lawson, Teague, Maynor, Collison and Beaubois (All first round).
So assuming he had stayed at St. Marys and had a solid season do you think he would have secured a first round spot and guaranteed contract in the 2010 draft?
