RandyMossIsBoss Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 For all we know maybe RJ would have had a tough time being eligible. Who knows, definitely an odd decision. Hope it works out for him but he’s in for a big disappointment if he thinks the path he’s chosen is it all comparable to Luka’s path to the NBA, which he has suggested while making his rounds. RJ is just going to be an attraction for a season in a low tier league, while Luka was groomed for years in a rich, professional 1 track environment before playing 3 years in Europe’s top league.

He wants to get paid to play and he'll get a jump start on endorsement deals, not a bad move financially but in terms of personal development and exposure, it's meh.

If he struggles or just plays okay there, people will say it's because he's in a pro league and he'll have excuses. We've also seen with guys like Dante Exum, Darius Garland, Thon Maker, etc. that sometimes being out of sight/out of mind adds more intrigue to a prospect because there's not as much tape to pick them apart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11sanchez11 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 as expected putting it in the recruiting thread because it has more to do with recruiting than the nba draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) LeBron Jr and Zaire Wade are both going to attend Sierra Canyon next season.

Look at what happened to Bazley. Went from a top 15 draft pick this year to maybe undrafted because he skipped out on college and tried a different route.

Hampton is a better player and will be a better draft prospect than Bazley. The problem with what Bazley did was that he didn't play at all this season, he announced he would play in the G-League and then realized he didn't want to get exposed so he trained on his own. Assuming that Hampton stays healthy this move might actually help his draft stock tbh. Next years draft looks even worse than this years and even if Hampton struggles down there he'll be an intriguing draft prospect because he's playing in a grown man's league.

Different situation sure. But I think it'll be same results... Players that try different routes in past just fade into obscurity. It's hard to remain relevant when you are not in the national spotlight. Sure scouts still do their jobs and scout over seas as well. But they will always have questions on the prospect and cause the player to fall in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11sanchez11 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Former 5* big man Jordan Brown transfers to Zona. We gotta kick one more player off the team. We already kicked Devonaire Doutrive off. Who will be a solid transfer option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madridista Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 UVA landed a commitment from Reece Beekman last week. The hope is to round out the class with Henry Coleman, though I assume he's holding out for a Duke offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
