In my opinion, he will be playing catch up which can either make him better or set him back, which in my opinion is most likely. When I was younger, I went to basketball camp as a 13 year old if I remember correctly. The camp coaches needed 2 kids from our league to move up to the 14 -16 league. My friend and I stupidly volunteered (never do that) and we were at a disadvantage because most of the kids in that league were larger and more developed than we were. We never caught up and felt dominated the entire week. I feel NAW has the potential to have that happen in his career.
Staying in school would have allowed him to be the dominator to refine his skills.
Note I never argued for improved draft position.
