Glad to see Banks stay and hope he can finish a degree. He has a lot of time already invested in his education to not finish now. He has some things to work on for the NBA and he will be a major part of the team next year. We still need another big to back him up.
Forget sunk costs. All decisions should be forward looking.

Sugiura: The unlikely reason James Banks withdrew from the NBA draft

But Banks chose not to give himself the chance, and he explained the story on Tuesday, as the team prepared for its trip to Spain for four exhibition games. When Banks’ submitted the paperwork, he neglected to put an electronic signature on the draft document. When the NBA reached out to Tech to point out the missing signature, the deadline to enter had passed, but Banks said that the league told him that it would make an exception for him.

Banks said no thanks. Having already been unsure about whether he wanted to declare for the draft, he said the omission was a sign.
