Would sponsors have been burned if he had gone straight the pros out of high school?

I thought it was foolish for a company to try and presell this guy as Lebron with an 100M shoe deal before he matched up with the pros. He can't even top the best in college.
i guess bad for him (his pockets) he couldn't skip college and get a nba team/shoe sponsor to bite the way oakland did on jamarcus russell.
