Judah Mintz to test NBA Draft waters

I bet he's frustrated. Super confident player and maybe not getting all the feedback from NBA scouts that he wanted. Hope he returns but will root for him to succeed if he decides to remain in the Draft.
 
In the age of NIL, I'm not sure what the argument is for staying in the draft if you're going to go late second round or undrafted, unless you think that's as high as you're likely to ever get.

If Judah thinks he's really reached the peak of his draft potential, he should stay in the draft. If he thinks he could play his way up to a first rounder next year, he should come back to SU.

It really makes zero sense to me, from the outside.

Then again - a lot of decisions people make, make little sense to me.

Agree 100% with that logic.

Obviously, it's up to Judah to decide -- so not sure what lens he'll apply to the decision.

Old African proverb: "If you want to go fast, you go alone. If you want to go far, you go together".

If he comes back and helps us win, he'll be the main beneficiary.

that's what probably makes it a hard decision for Judah - likely the things he needs to improve on ...will be difficult or impossible to improve upon: wingspan (no chance), height (no chance), etc...even shooting (maybe) is something that is iffy on if he can actually improve in college vs gleague...

if he thinks he is unlikely to improve upon the things they want him to improve upon in college...makes it hard to get motivated to go back to school, most likely

maybe school isn't his thing. I'm sure he has been told he has a two way in the bag and his parents are well off so he's probably going for it.

Going to class is such a bummer, being educated and learning to be a better citizen and person is such a drag! Education sucks, it's just so hard

I would expect outside shooting/decision making to make a major leap as a soph. They both already started coming around at the end of the year this year.

i mean, yeah, I agree that he will likely get better - I think he should come back and be a firtst rounder and try to be a lottery pick next draft...

but it seems for sure that some of the things dinging his draft stock are not likely to change, as well...i.e. wingspan and physical mass/height

Don’t let schooling interfere with your education.
I’m not sure how going to school makes you a better citizen.

If you really want to learn something you can go to YouTube or find any number of books on various subjects.
The idea that one must go through the indoctrination system in order to be educated is antiquated at best.
Many of my clients with the highest net worth have the least amount of formal education.
Had one guy with a HS diploma with net monthly income in excess of $500k. Totally self made.

He's a bit undersized and his foot speed is not that great. His offense is mostly under-the-basket w/ minimal faceup game. Not much of a handle or jumper.
You might take a flyer if you have offense, but need defense and rebounding. The Gleague has dozens of guys just like him on their roster. JMHO

He can't shoot 3's or distribute. Would be exposed on offense...in theory.

Because teams view him like Andre Drummond, a great rebounded but that's it very limited offensively . Sanogo is more sought after because he can hit 3s but also bully down low and is a solid rebounder.
 
Me when I come in here and see a tweet has been linked but it’s not Judah
