When he could have gotten millions elsewhere?
There’s no player close to his talent in the Ivy League.
Look up his stats when he was at Duke and Va. NOT impressive. I could understand Duke - they have 75% of their roster go to the NBA each year - hard to crack the top 10 in their line up. BUT, he didn't have impressive stats at a "much poorer than this year" Cavalier team. This may likely be the reason he chose to go down a level. He is now a junior and putting up impressive numbers. His maturity & improvement should be expected - but he is also doing it against Ivy league competition. The jury is out on whether he could perform at that same level against P5 competition. He'll have a chance, at least for 1 game, in this tourney.
 
Crazy how all the good teams are in the Midwest and east.

Part of that is simple population density so there are more schools in the eastern half of the country (map of division 1 schools in the continental US)

And then on top of that, the west coast's support of college sports isn't all that great either.
