not being able to develop him for the future. He progressed this year, nothing saying he can't progress next year as he progressed with the coaches this year.

Why stay at byu in a dysfunctional system when you can get paid to play ball

The NBA minimum is about 5 times what he'd make to start in Europe

Never thought being 21-23 is an old man. This is not the NFL.

Age doesn't matter as much for basketball. Why go to Europe when you can

Age matters big time in basketball when it comes to NBA

But age doesn't matter for Europe.

Matters much less for sure. In fact being 19 might scare some teams off if

thebruce

His previous team mates have proven that age is not an issue in foreign leagues.

BYUSwoop

Right, they just want contributors.

Maybe he doesn't care if he ever ends up in the NBA. IDK

Or this.

Not that far fetched. Both he and his wife speak Italian

CFMcK

He makes lots of money, gets treated like royalty, lives in a country he loves

People are just pessimistic for no reason because they hear his interviews and

I like the word prediction.

My prediction is

The other side of that argument is

if he does not get guaranteed money he will get very little for a D-League contract...

Adrielle

Age is a big deal in terms of draft position.

thebruce

4/27/17 10:01am

You show me where someone says his age is the reason he is not a first rounder...I have never heard that before.

Adrielle

4/27/17 10:09am

How many 22 year olds are projected 1st rounders.

thebruce

4/27/17 10:27am

But this is because most of the top talented guys do the one and done thing. Which skews...

Adrielle

4/27/17 10:34am

I'd say most of the top college players are upperclassmen

thebruce

4/27/17 10:44am

your causality analysis is way off, NBA picks skew for potential, not production

4/27/17 11:00am

I was disputing what Adrielle said when he said the top guys are 18 and 19

thebruce

Jimmer was exactly the same age as Mika is now but he was a lottery pick

Adrielle

4/27/17 10:28am

Yes, but Jimmer was an outlier with regards to age.

Byu_1988

4/27/17 11:27am

However, even with a D-league contract

Byu_1988

4/27/17 11:15am

But the D-League is not change your life money; he will have been "drafted"

I have no inside info, and do not consider myself a good judge of NBA talent...

Preach logic brother. I don't buy the doom and gloom about the basketball team

BYUSwoop

4/27/17 12:46pm

Good points. I personally thought that Jimmer could turn into a JJ Redick type player. Unfortunately he has two things
