Why not give it one more shot?

For what benefit? His prospects to play pro will be the absolutely same.

ColumbusCoug

I disagree. All overseas leagues are not the same, nor do they pay the same

But no more than a year playing in a professional league.

I hope you were joking when you wrote this... even the great Jimmer

Why give it one more shot? What can he realistically gain?

An insurance claim will probably pay out more than any euro league.

Get a policy and a salary.

Insurance claims on based on future potential and yeah

Right, because no one improves their draft stock in their senior year.

The probability is very very low. Yes, there are outlier cases like Jimmer

Having a great senior year will give him a better shot at the NBA than a great

By increasing his pts/game by 5 and rebounds/game by 2. He could double his

Probably even more importantly, if he could get his 3-point shooting up from 32%

I think it's the coach's responsibility to add a new vision

How many players come to the NBA from other leagues? Now how many come out of US

Pretorian

So should we dislike him for it? So confusing...

UMWolverine

As a fan of BYU I dislike he is leaving, I don’t know him personally
