Rember Him? Korleone Young

Since its draft time, who can forget about Korleone Young, the Pistons 2nd round pick out of high school years ago. The New York Daily News ran an article on the draft, and a good part of it gives us a Korleone update. I almost fell off my chair when his mom said they have "no regrets" about how it all turned out. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/2007/06/24/2007-06-24_from_boys_to_men.html

I remember Korleon Young. I live in Wichita and remember the fact that he was a great high school player. I also remember be flabbergasted by his decision to turn pro out of High School. He got bad advice (if you can even call it that) from his mom. I think the family was just seeing dollar signs. I'm sure the money he made from Detroit is gone, as is his chance at a future. I'm guessing he'll be working in a shoe store in the mall in a few years as well. Too bad as he was very talented.
