Was that a shot at the Lakers?
Could be, or maybe he's wishing that gramps was an NBA GM.

I hope not. As a nobody trying to get in the league, a shot like that could get you blackballed.Was that a shot at the Lakers?
Judah ruffling feathers?I hope not. As a nobody trying to get in the league, a shot like that could get you blackballed.
To be blackballed you have to be good enough to be there first.I hope not. As a nobody trying to get in the league, a shot like that could get you blackballed.
What did you watch?I have no relationship w/ Judah, but I think he gets way more negativity than he deserves. Is he the perfect player? No. But he played hard for us, generally stayed out of trouble (sans slapping incident), and was respectful of his teammates and the media.
I watched a talented young man trying his best on a big stage.What did you watch?
When you said respectful to media, does that include or ignore him publicly going after Mike Waters?I watched a talented young man trying his best on a big stage.
I hope he has a ton of success going forward.
That was a mistake. He is imperfect, as most men his age are. As we all are at any age.When you said respectful to media, does that include or ignore him publicly going after Mike Waters?
He was a pure douche here.
He should know enough to apologize if it was just youthful, impulsive, emotional remarks though. Admitting one’s mistakes is tough but a big part of maturing. Wishing him the best for his future and that things come together for him.That was a mistake. He is imperfect, as most men his age are. As we all are at any age.
Watch him mature and become a great ambassador for the program in years to come. That's one of the joys of following Cuse basketball.
not really relavent to judah, but JG3 got signed before him
Would have to imagine that Judah is looking for a guaranteed or 2 way deal
Is Russia open for business again? Asking for a friend.He will be looking overseas soon
Maybe he has offers but is holding off for the summer league and betting on himself again? Id assume where he was on the draft board that he would have something immediately.Has there been any news about any team showing interest in him as a ufa?
What are his options at this point? Try to get on a summer league team to showcase himself?
Teams are absolutely looking into ‘personal/personality matters.’ There was discussion about why Filipowski dropped and some of it concerned that his girlfriend was six years older, and his family doesn’t speak to each other… or somesuch. Not basketball related. But a pick is a significant investment. With Judah, there have been a few red/reddish/pink flags, and that coupled with his non-NBA game made him less attractive than the illusion of his college PPG and ‘SU star’ status.While I understand some of the frustrations expressed with Judah I cannot fathom anybody taking pleasure in him not getting drafted. Any Syracuse player getting into the NBA is good for the program.
I do wonder what the need was to release a puzzling documentary right before the draft. They Mike Waters nonsense also likely didn’t help. NBA teams drafting in the second round want guys who are all in on basketball and don’t like distractions.
When I was at Syracuse, I went to a book signing with Dick Vitale and Sonny Vaccaro. Vaccaro told me that the guys who get drafted late are often drafted for as much as their personality and their dedication to the game as they are for potential talent. Teams want guys they know will show up on time for practice ready to go regardless of how much Game time they get.
One of the ESPN analysts said that the word is he did not interview well with teams. I assume this to mean his responses to questions was not satisfactory. I just recently learned that for 2 years he's been seriously involved with a woman who is now 26 (Kyle is now 20 years old).Teams are absolutely looking into ‘personal/personality matters.’ There was discussion about why Filipowski dropped and some of it concerned that his girlfriend was six years older, and his family doesn’t speak to each other… or somesuch.
