This was the deepest NBA draft in YEARS and next years won't be deep at all.
Mika was WAY ahead of where we thought he'd be after his mission. With his work ethic, he absolutely could have had a huge year and in my opinion, had a chance to be a first rounder. And when you are a first rounder, teams have so much invested in you that your chances of making a roster are way better, plus you gain more leverage for overseas contracts.
Barring injury, his chances of making an NBA team and making more money overseas would have been much larger next year.
