Judah Mintz to test NBA Draft waters

The longer it takes, the better I like our chances of getting him back. Just a gut feeling. I feel like they’re waiting to get good feedback, but it isn’t coming, and teams want him to go to school for another year to develop his game. Personally, I think he can work on his craft just fine in the G League, especially his jumper, but coming back to school will get him into the 1st round, and get him that guaranteed money. Practicing against tough guards, and playing in the ACC as a lead guard won’t hurt his development either. I know Judah really wanted to make the Tourney too, so I think deep down he wants another shot.

They did plenty of shooting drills outside of the game, the scouts know if he is ready or not or can be developed based on form, ability.

Are the shooting drills all pure shooting and looking at form and mechanics?

Or does it also look at how he shoots when heavily defended creating space breaking ankles?

It’s all of the above, shooting on the move, shooting of the dribble, spotting up, from different spots and mechanics. What you can never simulate perfectly is real game situations and the scrimmages are not a normal game. Like evaluating QB’s at Elite 11 or against air, still always some degree of risk for teams if the player has not proven it in live games.

In financial terms, what's the "alpha" of Judah on the team - taking minutes away from - the other guards?
Is he that much better of a scorer? (he can drive to the basket) T/O margin? +/- including both sides of the floor?

I dunno. I'm happy with who we've got now. Wish we had another big man.

We don't need another big man. The game is different. Many good teams do not play through the post. They defend, rebound and run the floor while some also are stretch bigs. Folks need to get these antiquated roles being the only way to succeed out of their head.

Way to let them have It OZ!
That’s telling em!
 
What are the odds Judah comes back? It’s an on going conversation but time is running out and a decision will shortly be made. Anyone care to comment? Those insiders? Thanks

50/50 if it was anything else, someone would’ve reported it

Yep..Miami was small, FAU was small, UConn outside of Clingan off the bench played small ball. Sanogo was still only a physical 6-9.

Iowa, Michigan, Illinois.. didn't get it done playing through the post with bigtime rosters.

Heck look at the NBA. Bostons big men are 6-9. Miami plays small with 6-9 Adebayo. Denver was the biggest team of the NBA Final Four and that's with a Point Center NBA MVP.

You think someone is going to separately report every single kid who is staying in the draft?

Yup, they are paid to report on as many players as possible. You think rothstien only follows a few players?

It’s not like there’s 1,000 fringe draft players, the list starts at mock rank 50 and ends at mock rank 100

Last couple seasons Iowa hasn’t played through the post. Then again they don’t get it done regardless of what they do.

I was referring to the Garza year specifically

What is most surprising is the lack of news of any team workouts for Judah. Most teams will bring in like 4 players to work out and play 2 on 2 We just haven't heard anything. But you have to wonder if someone, like a Troy Weaver, has made a promise to Judah.

Detroit has the 5th and 31st picks this year. I can't imagine him promising Judah one of those.

No, but 2nd round draft picks get traded a lot, especially by teams with multiple ones and few roster slots.

Why in the world would he do that? There have been a lot of Syracuse guys in the draft and Troy doesn't seem to make promises to them?

I said "like a Troy Weaver", not necessarily meaning Troy Weaver, but since you brought it up, maybe Troy has played closer attention to Judah's game and has watched him evolve from a young kid growing up in Maryland to Syracuse, areas where Weaver is extremely familiar with on a first hand basis.

Mintz is arguably our best pro prospect since Jerami, and Weaver did trade for Jerami and signed Buddy.
