Going from HS to the NBA is a HUGE culture shock regardless of how many people were giving you preferential treatment before the jump.
The one and done rule helps with the transition a little but I think they should make you wait til you're 20. Or at least send these kids to the NBDL and pump some life into that joke of a farm league.
Shout out to my man Brandon Jennings too. I liked his journey.
Going from elementary school to middle school to high school to work and/or college to work, are all culture shocks. You can't be prepared for that life until u live that life.
Are you comparing the transition from 8th to 9th grade to the transition from living at home with your mama to traveling all over the country and making millions of dollars?
