Judah Mintz to test NBA Draft waters

[SanDiegoCuse]

Hey Judah no matter what. Today is your day bro, today is your day bro! (which board movie fan will get the quote?)

If you’re talking, “It’s going to be your night bro”, I believe the answer is the cinematic classic Twins starring Arnold and Danny DeVito.

"Here comes your night to remember" was from Porkys.

This is a cherry picked statistic without context. A cup of coffee is not worth mentioning as having played in the league. I know someone who played in the G-League, then played in the preseason for the Grizzlies and was then waived.

So he was part of the 46% who didn’t? Not sure the point. The G league isn’t a death sentence that you’re making it out to be, look at the great players who’ve gone through there.

It’s as if some of the people commenting don’t follow the NBA at all.

Oh yeah, good ole Porkys. That takes me back to my early teens.

Judah should come back to college. His draft position has not improved and all scouts have been telling him he should return to college. Not saying he will listen to them but he should. But best of luck to him whatever he decides.

I mentioned this already probably back on like Page 12 or something, but that's not really what the G-League is anymore.

G-League locations now (and NBA affiliate):

• Wizards - DC
• Cavs - Cleveland
• Hawks - College Park (AKA Atlanta)
• 76ers - Wilmington (40 minutes to Philly)
• Pacers - Indianapolis (still named Fort Wayne Mad Ants but they play in downtown Indianapolis)
• Nuggets - Grand Rapids, MI
• Hornets - Greensboro
• Brooklyn Nets - Long Island
• Celtics - Portland, Maine
• Pistons - Detroit
• Magic - Kissimmee (30 minutes to Orlando)
• Raptors - Mississauga (40 minutes to Toronto)
• Knicks - Bridgeport, CT
• Bulls - Hoffman Estates, IL (technically a suburb of Chicago but its close to an hour to get to the River North area)
• Bucks - Oshkosh (over an hour to Milwaukee)
• Spurs - Cedar Park (almost 2 hours to San Antonio)
• Pelicans - Birmingham, AL
• T'Wolves - Des Moines, IA
• Grizzlies - Southaven, MS (15 minutes to Memphis)
• Thunder - OKC
• Clippers - Ontario, CA
• Rockets - Edinburg, TX
• Jazz - Salt Lake suburb
• Warriors - Santa Cruz
• Heat - Sioux Falls, SD
• Lakers - El Segundo (maybe my favorite thing in the G-League...they're arena holds 750 people)
• Kings - Stockton, CA
• Mavericks - Frisco, TX (outside of Dallas)

There aren't many teams left that aren't located either right by their NBA affiliate or in a legit city of their own.

Those four cities you mentioned are already bigger than Syracuse btw (you obviously have a point about the number of people that attend G-League games, but I don't think players care all that much tbh; they're more focused on getting to the NBA anyways).

• Heat - Sioux Falls, SD ouch!

• Heat - Sioux Falls, SD ouch!

I've heard that Sioux Falls is the Miami of South Dakota.

Who is going to be first to post in this chat the decision? That’s the real winner of this!

all scouts have been telling him he should return to college. Not saying he will listen to them but he should.

If 100% of the teams are telling him the same thing then it should be an easy decision. I have a feeling a couple are telling him something different.

Refresh damn it refresh!

If they were I think he’d be gone already. Maybe he’s waiting to hear something he hasn’t heard?

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Interesting that the school announced the two players will be back and not the players themselves.

Maybe but also could depend on some other player's decisions as well.

Maybe but also could depend on some other player's decisions as passive.

Lot of guys saying they are coming back..

 

[CuseMan4]

It really just makes so much sense for him to come back. But who knows these days. Best of luck either way and I’ll be rooting for him either way obviously.

It’d just be a nice change to be a team next year with some real expectations again. Been a few years. If Mintz doesn’t come back I think we are a top 40 team. If Mintz comes back I think we are a top 15 team. That’s how important he is. Mintz, Starling, Westry would be a great trio. Then you have solid role players like Cuffe, Benny, Brown, McLeod, Bell and Taylor. That team will make some noise. Selfishly hoping he comes back

Seems like 90% who waited until today are returning…

Not going to lie -- I get "nervous" every time I see OrangeXtreme post something in this thread...

Probably waiting to hear something that didn’t come
