Thats far from a sure bet

There is a reason that the NCAA is the premier developement league for the NBA despite the fact that many top European teams could be competetive with and even beat NBA teams. Reality is there is no patience for US born players in the top Euro leagues, and the lower ones wont impress anybody stateside. For locals it is a little different.

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.
