[Guapo]

Definitely heading to Syracusefan.com for some schaduenfrauden

Or however you spell it.

Yes yes.

This is exactly what I was looking for.

I want to be hooked to an IV filled with the tears of that disgusting fan base.

Syracuse delenda est.

Bazley Decommits

That's the NBA' s biggest flaw here.

Let 18 year olds go to the draft but not eligible to play on the NBA team or something.

Give teams a reason to develop these kids.

 

[intlzncster]

One note: I do think kids will look at how well Bazley does in the draft next year.

It's a lot harder to play against Pros and Men than it is against fellow college students. Much easier to shine in college and build that hype.

If he does well, gets drafted high, then it sound like a go.

Interesting litmus test to watch.

EDIT: I see the guy with the tweets above beat me to it. Too slow

 

[Wordbomar]

I'm almost positive there's a G-League draft.

Yep, and then he’d just re-enter NBA draft next year

 

[UConnStats]

Score another one for the “get rid of the one and done” crew.

Bazley won't be the first to go from HS to the G League (although called the D League at the time). Latavious Williams went from HS to the D League in 2009, bypassing college. He was the #36 recruit in the class and he was drafted in the 2nd round in 2010. I don't think he ever played in the NBA.

Honestly, if I were an NBA team with a G-League team, I'd draft him in G-League, practice and develop him and then literally never play him so other teams couldn't see how good he is/isn't.

It was this same tweet from Evan Daniels, but said $30k instead of $25K

 

[80shusky]

At this rate our game against them in the fall may be a three on three.

 

[Lefty2one]

As much as I'll laugh at Cuse for this, just end the one-and-done farce already. For the NBA finally makes a move this summer.

 

[Guapo]

I'd take 25k to not live in Syracuse for a year.

 

[TRest]

Some kids just don't want to take fake classes.

 

[UC1995]

I can’t wait until we are relevant again to lose a 5 star talent to the g league... kidding... not kidding

25k and he will have to pay for his own meals. Housing is provided. These kids literally have no clue how cushy they have it as full scholarship athletes at top schools.

Enjoy the low pay, bus trips, paying for your meals, and fighting against grown men for playing time.

I'm guessing an agent got to him and offered him a helluva lot more than $25k.

So you’ve never heard of a loan from an Agent.

And he can get sponsored or do ads now

He's probably getting some nice sponsorship dollars. Agents, shoe companies, or whatever. He's doing better than the min, I'lll guarantee that.

I hate SU as much as anyone but we need to get back to the tournament before we talk about who is more relevant. I believe Dan Hurley is that guy but it’s not even close to who has more relevancy right now.

Man, just be happy that something bad happened to Syracuse.

Gee whiz

And they have to pay that back. If he flops, gets injured, or just doesn't hack it then what?

In college you are protected and get everything you want while being a "big man on campus".

It's up to the players in g league how hard they work and how many hours they train/ practice. College you have a schedule and people actually looking out for you and pushing you

I suppose. I'm not really sure how much G Leaguers push the needle to be worth spending advertising on though.

Does he have to give back the 25 grand to the booster who paid him to go to Cuse?

If Adidas was paying players to go to Adidas colleges, what might they pay a top 10 recruit who went to the G League? If he blows up early and looks like he's a surefire lottery pick then the sponsors will roll up with buckets of cash

They'll take that risk. Why not? Kid's obviously got game. And if they can lock him into a multi year deal on the cheap, that's a nice gamble to take. They've got gobs of money anway.
