Well there could be something to this..
If this isn't a guy that necessarily needs the NBA money right now, then the financial motive isn't there, esp if he knows the money will be there the following year, and possibly more assuming he's the #1 overall pick. I don't think he would be the #1 overall pick this season unless he starts logging 25/15 per game.
He's only been playing for a couple years. Thats ****ing insane. But that also meas he has A TON to learn about the game, and what better place is there to do that? NBA lifestyle is also different. Being on the road all the time, all the time, fame, freedom, money for an 18-19yr old in the US?
A lot of former KU guys (current or former NBA guys) come back over the course of the season, many of them are mentors, have each others cell numbers etc. Embiid is going to learn a lot about the differences and he'll make the decision whether or not he's ready for the real outside world as a celeb/pro athlete. And that's not really even touching on his game/development.
