Imagine you're a top college basketball player, perhaps the top college player in the country. Imagine you decided, with a potential first-round pick in the offing, to ignore the draft entirely, instead returning to school and preparing for your senior season. Now imagine watching the NBA draft.

It has to be kind of difficult, wouldn't it? It'd be a lot like getting together with high school friends after your first semester at college. You're comparing stories, debating the merits of your choices, arguing about whose campus is best. Even if you're 100 percent happy with your decision, the pangs of uncertainty are still there, right? What if I didn't make the right decision? What if I've made a horrible mistake?

It's probably good news for Duke fans that Kyle Singler, their national title-winning star forward who decided to return to Duke for his senior season in 2010-11, seems impervious to such questions. Instead, on draft day, Singler seems every bit as happy with his decision to stay as he did when he announced it in April. From Rivals.com:

"I enjoy it here," Singler said. "I feel like my time here's been good. And with the group of people we have coming back, I feel we have a chance to do what we did last year." [...] Singler was considered a potential late first-round pick, but that didn't matter. He already knew what he wanted to do. "I wanted to come back and experience my senior year," Singler said.

Steve Megargee makes the point that Singler was unnaturally certain about his decision, more so than most prospects. Instead of entering his name in the draft and nominally testing the NBA waters before the NCAA's new May 8 early-entry deadline, Singler nipped the entire situation in the bud. He wasn't the least bit interested.

Considering the huge number of prospects that left for the NBA this year, and considering that Singler was ranked much higher than many of them in mock drafts -- his future as an NBA stretch wing is completely plausible -- that's a noteworthy reaction. I take an hour to decide if I want Chinese or Mexican for lunch. To decide one's future in such clear, confident fashion is very impressive. If only every decision were quite that easy. (But seriously: Chinese today? This is so hard!)
