generated buzz in 1 game (the Gonzaga game). Had he stayed for at least 1 more seasoon, he would have come in with a lot more hype and national attention. Was Jimmer any more prepared for the NBA after his senior year than his junior year? Debatable. But the buzz was obviously on a whole 'nother level, which led to him being a lottery pick.

Mika got some bad advice IMO to leave when he did. But hey, he's getting paid to play basketball now. He saw his chance and he took it, good for him. He could have come back and gotten injured for all we know.
