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

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

Right, they just want contributors.

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

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.

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

Age is a big deal in terms of draft position.

thebruce

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.

Adrielle

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

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

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

Adrielle

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
