Without being that extreme, either choice makes sense to me.
Walter Bellhaven

So you wouldn't even advise him to go? What if he asked?

The only advice I would give him would be to pray about it

He wouldn't be able to go into the NBA in 2 years?
Walter Bellhaven

The "should a potential superstar go on a mission" question is impossible..

I would ask my priesthood leader for advice and do whatever they told me.

I said yes to #3, but I'm assuming it meant to not try and push him hard one way
