I've always really admired these athletes who, not only graduate, but have a 3.93 GPA in school like Mays did. Total respect. Joseph "Nacho" Albergamo was one of them too. Really happy for Mays and wish him all the BEST. Geaux Tigers.

Means he has to play defense also. Most big time players are exempt from those deals.

It means his pay is dependant on if he plays for the NBA or the development league.

The Hawks have a crazy amount of depth that includes established vets and higher touted draft picks.
