The pro landscape is changing.

Eric Mika is pro material already, and waiting a year will not improve his chances very much. Sure, next year will not be the draft talent logjam that 2017 is. But so what? Why not enter the pipeline as a free agent? His skill level will improve considerably better .... over staying in college.

Read this, about how the NBA is getting more serious about the D League. Here's a guy that is going to make serious money by working on what his team seeks.

Steve Pierce report suggests Mika was a late marginal add to NBA Combine invite list.

The dumpster fire that he was a part of?

WJCougar

I agree. I think the state of the program will play a big part.

Mika is going, because it will help him get a very good evaluation of where he stands & the chances of being drafted.

He has to announce right after the combine... The deadline is right after.

thebruce

4/30/17 11:56am

Ok. I wasn't sure when that was. But either way, this gives him a great chance for an eval than w/out the invite.

There isn't a chance in yewt we are good next year without Mika.
