Waters to NBA...

[huskymedic]

Getting out of Dodge...

 

[Mano]

And signing with an agent lol...

Probably no other real choice there. His eligibility was about to be up one way or another.

 

[UconnU]

42% from the field, 32% from 3. Was coming off the bench for a few games. He won’t be drafted, he’ll most likely play in the G league next year.

Tremont Waters declares for 2019 NBA Draft

Will he even get drafted in the 2nd round?

Doubtful

 

[kansashusky]

Wait, I thought he cared about academics?

 

[uconnbill]

He can go overseas for a year or two and make some money or play in the G-league. and work on his shooting

 

[BuckleyNerd]

I'd be shocked if he gets drafted but there's nothing staying in school would do about that, kid is just too undersized and not an elite 3 pt shooter, especially in the NBA. Go get that six figure overseas money instead of wasting precious time in the G league to hope for a 10 day contract if you're lucky. Blows my mind that so many kids do that, terrible move financially.

 

[Crank]

Man. People are hard. Dude is doing what he thinks is best for him. Gets ripped for having "no chance" at NBA and for a perceived hypocritical stance on academics . . .

What the h-ll was everybody on here doing at age 21?

I was a mess.

 

[Fishy]

I think he has a decent chance of being a second-round pick.

It’s probably the right call for him - another year or two isn’t going to do anything for him.

His biggest issue is his size and he’s not going to grow just because he’s living in a dorm. Plus, his coach is gone and his school is about to meet Jesus.

As they say, will he have to take a pay cut? All kidding aside, he is a fun player to watch and Tremont knows how to win.

 

[Kenny11]

He’s a really good player. I hope he makes it. The problem is that you have to be one of the best 80 players in the world to make the nba as a point guard. The position is so stacked.

So did Ryan Boatright and he can't sniff the NBA. Tremont's decision is more a prelude of whats to come at LSU and perhaps even his own eligibility than it is any realistic shot at the NBA. Few GM's desire a diminutive pg with an average skill set who can't guard anyone. Given his circumstances, he had to make this choice. He had no other option.

How many overseas jobs are there? The Europeans are getting better at basketball and are growing their own players. Same with Turkey.

There are a lot at various levels. Omar Calhoun is playing overseas. Waters can find work somewhere.

 

[JimHurley]

Wouldn’t surprise me if this kid finds a place in the NBA. Yes he may only be 5’10 and 165 pounds but he can play. He’s really skilled, he’s a creator, plays great defense, and he’s clutch. If he can consistently hit 3’s at 38-40% I think you’ll see him on an NBA roster.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

You could say he’s....

....testing the waters...

Yeaaaaaaahhhhhhh

Big Dave O is out there, there seem to be many spots to fill in many different places

Heard nice things about his character and work ethic from someone who coached him, though the info was conveyed in a sauna and not at a car wash.

 

[gtcam]

I think he has a definite chance at a 2nd round pick
Kid is a gamer and has a good ceiling
There's been far worse drafted as projects..............................................

Probably right but I like Tremont - he finds ways to win games.

Just read the entire letter now, assuming he wrote it, he is a thoughtful and identifies/appreciates those who help him. His parents got criticized here, but many players would be fortunate to have the type of parental support Tremont got, leaving LSU $’s aside for a moment.

There is support and then there is putting your best interests in front of your kids. The only reason why Tremont gets heat on this board is because of the obvious demands from his Dad. Besides that, he does seem like a good kid and had a really nice season.

Both involve water, steam, and rejuvenation, so I'll accept that as legitimate intel.
