LifelongAP Walk-on

I agree

When has a white American player started his pro career in Europe and ended up in the NBA? He must not have cared much about the nba, which is odd.

Was very strange. With Mika we could have been good this yr

The pull of going to NBA or the to Italy as fallback option warped his judgement

I just think he couldn't stand the players on the team and the

I don't think we make as drastic of positives changes to our offense

The only thing that makes sense is that he wasn't enjoying himself on the team

To test CBer neurosis? Still beating our heads against wall of reality.

He did what he felt was best for him, and his family.

No he didn't.

Good point. I hadn't looked at like that.

Metallicat

Why stay? Why not get on with your life? College will always be there, and every year he stays, his chance at the nba

College is scouted so much better than Europe

I'm guessing he was content playing pro ball in Italy.

Metallicat

I agree

Why stay??? You mean besides the possibility of becoming one of the all-time

Fans are "understandably angry" about someone they don't know living his life?

Metallicat

So your argument is that you can't be upset about anything unless you personally

When Mika becomes leader of the free world, and his decisions impact the country

Metallicat

You may not be aware of this, but Mika was actually a member of the basketball

Zero difference. At the end of the day it's a game. He owes you nothing.

Metallicat

10/28/17 2:07pm

Zero difference? Ha ha okay whatever. The classy thing to do would be to admit

Game Changer

Dude, it's a game. It's entertainment and that's it.

Metallicat

No doubt that society - including me and you - is way too invested in trivial

He made a mistake. He overestimated his value to the NBA, and also to

Eric Mika played for Eric Mika. One point six assists per game.

brejol

10/28/17 9:27am

His NBA chances weren’t going to improve much with another season at BYU either

StantonMac

10/28/17 10:05am

Eric had plenty to work on and he could have been a star in this draft

RealityCheck

10/28/17 10:54am

He can’t work on those things in Europe?

StantonMac

10/28/17 12:00pm

He didn't want to play hero ball with Nick and TJ.

Real Men Wear Blue

10/28/17 10:14am

What is he making in Europe? I can't form an opinion without knowing that....

46in96

10/28/17 10:38am

Not much.

chilango

10/28/17 10:47am

Anyone? More than 400-500k, probably smart if he spends and saves wisely, less

46in96

10/28/17 11:03am

Almost certainly less than $100k. $60-80k is a good guess.

chilango

10/28/17 11:18am

Then I'm on the side of it being an absolutely horrible decision.

46in96

10/28/17 12:04pm

You speak like he knew the outcome with certainty.

BostonCougar

10/28/17 3:09pm

Fair. But every NBA scout I heard interviewed said he lacked the length and

Because every year you wait, your chances go down. It may be a small chance,

BostonCougar

10/28/17 3:31pm

Not true.

wapiti

10/28/17 6:35pm

Everybody knew the outcome with 99% certainty. There was never any indication

Game Changer

10/28/17 3:36pm

If he had no chance, and he wasn't happy at BYU, why not move on forthwith?

roseyscenario

10/28/17 3:42pm

Probably not anywhere close to 400k. They do get nice perks, though - like home
