Nobody is "angry about kids wanting to play in the NBA" and choosing to frame the argument that way is nice spin.
All of your examples directly support the argument against one and done attitudes. According to you, a kid like Sullinger should have "come out" last year so that he wouldn't have a second year of play within his body of work to be judged or, in other words, get paid before the Pro teams know just how talented he might be.
The result is busts and flops in the Pros because kids and families just want the pay day, whether they're worthy of it or not.
Both college and Pro hoops is suffering as a result, all of which has nothing to do with people being angry about kids going Pro.
