Eddy Curry says he regrets jumping from preps to NBA

Eddy Curry was once a can't-miss high school prospect headed for the NBA.

Fifteen years later, the former lottery pick told high school students he wishes he had gone to college before heading to the pros.

"It would be super dope to have a college diploma," Curry said, via ChicagoTribune.com.

Curry was a 7-foot-0 sensation at Thornwood High School in South Holland, Ill., and went on to be picked fourth overall by his hometown Chicago Bulls in 2001.

The 33-year-old said he thinks he would have been more mature and able to manage his money better if he had gone to college.
