I was out of contact when this came down. What's the down low. I still don't see him in any of the mock drafts I've checked even listed as a second round pick.

Seems he'd be much better served to try to develop his skills one more year and improve his draft stock.

I know he's graduated. I know he's engaged. Was he just sick of school? Did he hate T.J.? Hate it here?

Interesting. Maybe he thinks one year in Europe improves his chances of getting an NBA contract more than one more year of college ball?

Or maybe he's just the unique young man who thinks experiencing Europe is a great opportunity to broaden his horizons past basketball?

Even if he doesn't get to the league getting paid 6 figures to play in Europe isn't the worst outcome.

figures he can get six figures now... and if he establishes himself 7 is not out of the question. With the new CBA some of the bigger leagues could potentially have higher average salaries than the NBA.

Would you rather make half a million playing a sport in Europe or live broke in the shithole that is BR. hmmm

In all honesty I think he'll make a career over there in europe. He's a typical euro big man (has a jump shot, not a very good defender, doesn't play very tough).

I'd love to see that, but have never even seen it floated as a possibility.
