He’ll have a longer season and be playing with and against better players.

I’ll never understand

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.

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

LifelongAP

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

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

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

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.

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

StantonMac

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

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

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

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.

You speak like he knew the outcome with certainty.

BostonCougar

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,

Not true.

wapiti

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
