Judah Mintz to test NBA Draft waters

[orange79]

Yep. I’ve shared this with a few friends and I just hope it is Judahs choice. I’ll leave it at that.

[limited experience, but... still]
in person, Maliq was more confident and made more plays. The team really appeared to respect him.
Benny pouted and was eating his shirt the majority of the time I was watching him.
(literally had his jersey or shirt in his mouth)

Bennys good play has always come when we were being blown out by 20+ points it seems. I guess that makes him more noticable in a good way compared to everyone else. Good 3 point shooting but hes typically been left unguarded.

Benny is also the only guy expected to see significant minutes that doesn't have 3 years of eligibility remaining. I don't think we are going to get a steady reliable court presence but if things are going to click it should be this year. Minutes at the 4 are wide open. I wouldn't write off Bell becoming an acceptable rebounder and defender and getting the most run at the 4 spot.

I agree. I went from driving the Benny fan bus, to jumping out on the highway. Obviously things can change, but something about his demeanor on the court, doesn’t seem to uplift his teammates.

Meaning even though scouts have seemingly told him it's a good idea to return to school, people like his agent are pushing him to declare? If you can't say, no worries.

I'm sure he can't but this is the other ugly side of it all. Just speculating but I would assume most agents aren't getting much of a cut from an NIL deal if at all so a faster payday comes the other way. Sucks but it's that other variable to where information being passed along, promises etc is all fluid.

I know I've said this before but working with a former ACC guard from the 80s who went through it then and then again with his kid not that long ago... some of the stuff he talks about with bigger named guys he played with and his own kid- it's just nuts everything that goes on around them when it comes to this stuff. Add in the new landscape.. and it's just wild.

When has the player, in SU’s case, ever not sided with his agent’s recommendation? And when has an agent ever had the kid’s best interest at heart?

Just can’t have nice things… ever.

I hope part of Benny's development may be hindered by him and JB personality wise didn't mix well, may be Red can bring him out not the environment

maybe just not the environment he flourishes in. I would also say it may be the way the old coach thought was the best way to prepare him for how it will be at the next level. It’s a business but unfortunately generation change and so does the way you deal with each generation. Just an observation by no means fact.

Unless we are misunderstanding/overreacting to what you’re saying …… this seems like an interesting turn of events

I’m still preparing for him to come back if that makes everyone feel better. But again he’s a kid and lot of people around him as well. “The camp” as we like to call it can have a lot of influence regardless of what the kid wants. (I.e. Jesse)

Wasn’t this kinda what happened with his recruitment and the Depaul smoke? He wanted Cuse all along but some people in his camp were pushing for Depaul?

 

[atlanticuse]

Can we start recruiting Wisdom Mintz, his brother?

 

[Cuse#1]

He needs to get stronger, develop his outside shooting. He can do that in the G League as a member of a team playing in an empty stadium with no one watching on TV with teammates who are completely and only focused on their own personal goals, vs team goals and hope he plays his way into the league. Or, he can work on developing those same skills playing in front of 20k plus fans, on National TV with teammates who are more focused on team goals than G league players while furthering his academic education and allowing himself the ability to mature in a college environment vs a quasi training camp.
Its a no brainer unless he hates the academic side of college.

I know that it seems like in a sense a lot of the 2 mintz' himself that he should come back and and be playing in front of big crowds. And get the exposure but. I mean I don't think kids even think that way for the most part when they get to that point because the goal is to make it to the NBA and/OR G league.

The thing is with the Julie is that at least now. It's kind dove like the NBA because these guys are guaranteed pretty d*** good morning and. I just think a lot of these guys would take that and being around NBA personnel players blah blah et cesarah then coming back to Syracuse. For instance just to get the exposure that he already has gotten. That's just my opinion.

Also, I hope Cuse#1 knows it’s all in fun. I think we’re all aware he’s using the voice to text feature. It just often leads to some hilarious results.
