Undersized for NBA center. Perfect for PF. Plenty bouncy and showed range

What really gets NBA teams excited is if a player can produce against taller opponents. In front of a bunch of NBA scouts, Mika showed very well against the taller bigs of Gonzaga, where Mika took another step or two outside when they packed the middle.

Well, last year they did use a lottery pick on a guy who know one

Could work out to be another one of BYU's failed first rounders

Please not the Kings-- no matter what round.

I haven't seen him on any draft boards. I think he'll come back to BYU.

Big men who average 20 and 9 tend be first round NBA draft picks

Too undersized, current skill set isn't needed in today's NBA

right, but every time he put the ball on the floor, it was swiped from him. He

That would be the worst thing ever for him.

Literally. Worst organization ever...

gww687

He'd be more skilled than Skal and Willie?

zagdontzig

3/30/17 3:04am

There is no scenario in which he will be drafted.

OpusX

3/30/17 3:12am

Totally agree.

zagdontzig

3/30/17 3:15am

He didn't hire an agent because he's testing the waters. He'll be back.

OpusX

3/30/17 3:26am

That is what I have been saying but a lot of CB members

pappabear246

3/30/17 4:28am

I think one year and he will be drafted

pappabear246

If he can get paid well I think Europe is higher on his list than BYU

Who was the last 6th yr senior to get drafted?

Shteve

Question:. If Mika plays in Euope....How likely make NBA in future

chirocoug

I don't remember seeing a non-European transition from Europe to the NBA.

Brandon Jennings and Emmanual Mudiay played overseas but....

jsjohnson1278

Yeah, I think Mudiay played in China because he was going to be suspended...

Willie and Skal are both extremely athletic and raw, but not yet very skilled

Run-DMT

3/30/17 7:47am

Skal is actually pretty skilled, his shot is definitely better than mika

PHXSUNS31

3/30/17 8:49am

I just don't think of him as a low post guy, at least so far

Run-DMT

3/30/17 10:31am

You're right, he's definitely not a low post guy.

WCS and Skal will turn into pretty good players. Look at WCS since Boogie trade.

I think we need a reality check

zagdontzig

3/30/17 10:39am

Mika more skilled than many players on NBA rosters. And athletic enough

Coogar2

3/30/17 11:43am

How is he more skilled yet isn't on a draft board?

zagdontzig

3/30/17 11:48am

Most players don't make "Millions" playing in Europe.

jsjohnson1278

3/30/17 11:56am

Reasons why Mika won't get drafted in the 1st round, and maybe not the 2nd

jsjohnson1278

We see things differently. In Dec my friends thought I was crazy

Davies had a game more suited to the NBA, and barely played in 2 seasons.

jsjohnson1278

3/30/17 12:17pm

Davies wasn

Coogar2

3/30/17 1:28pm

Davies wasn't this far along after his soph year. Mika shows more potential

Coogar2

3/30/17 1:29pm

Same age.

Shteve

3/30/17 1:34pm

Davies game was better suited for the NBA. He was longer, more athletic...

OpusX

3/30/17 2:11pm

There was a play towards the end of the season where it was obvious Mika wasn't

jsjohnson1278

3/30/17 12:26pm

To use only one play as an example is completely ludicrous.

CFMcK

3/30/17 12:38pm

There were plenty of times he was overmatched defensively.

OpusX

3/30/17 12:57pm

Do you mean that Mika did not play strong D? If so, I agree. He was afraid of

Corbin is not a good post defender

College basketball doesn't prepare players to play in the NBA.
