[davcbow]

What do you folks think about this kid Jeremy Tyler choosing to do what he is planning to do until he is elligeable for the NBA draft in a couple years? Maybe we can give this is agile 6-11, 260-pound kid a shot in 2 years, the scouts say he would is projected to go at the #1 pick in the 2011 draft.... :cool:

He needs to atleast get his High School Diploma first who in the hell is giving this dude advice? NBA is not guaranteed.

Edit - Ok I just saw on espn that He'll be receiving his GED while he plays over there it will be interesting to see if more players do this & what Jennings did last year. Not to mention what will Stern do with 1 & done college rule.

The euro league teams are gonna know he is not going to stick around. Unless he is good enough to help them right away and few rookies would be why would they give him any run. I doubt he will be breaking the bank over their either. Going to college can give you name recognition and a following that helps you get endorsement money, see Kevin Durrant. Going over seas might give him life experiences he can learn more from but other than that the only way this is a good move is if he can't make the grades to get into college. I can see if his family was really poor to I guess and he needed money for them. It could also be helpful if he needs to get away from some bad influence type friends but he could also go to college across the country.
