Top NBA draft prospect and former Texas freshman Mohamed Bamba says the opportunity to go straight from high school to the NBA would have been too good of a chance to pass up -- had the means been in place -- and that it would have "taken my game to the next level."
Bamba, who last month declared for June's draft and is a projected lottery pick, said Wednesday in an interview on ESPN's The Jump that his one year in college has no doubt been invaluable.
"But at the same time, I could have had a year of NBA development and had a year head start," Bamba said.
