Every year the number of underclassmen that declare for the NBA draft rises. While the reasons vary from player to player, it often comes down to the green stuff being the deciding factor. Cleveland Cavs center DeSagana Diop says he would have made out quite nicely had he went to college, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Diop went straight to the NBA from high school, but said he received offers of cars and apartments from several schools.

"College players need to get paid," Diop said. "They would have a better chance of getting the top players to stay in school. If there was some money available, I would've at least thought about playing in college."

Cavs forward Jumaine Jones, who played for two years at Georgia, said college basketball and football players should receive some type of compensation.

"Those two sports are bringing in the most money," Jones said. "Especially at a school like Georgia. But even if I was getting paid in school, I still would've went pro when I did. We lost about seven seniors and we were going to be a team full of walk-ons. My decision was easy."
