Judah Mintz to test NBA Draft waters

[Trueblue25]

Well

Here we go

 

[stuckinbig11]

How many heretofore unidentified players from outside the U.S. will get drafted--still unknown?

 

[kcsu]

He should come back. There is absolutely no reason for him to push his luck at this point.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Worst thing for Malachi's long term NBA career was that run.

Mintz is the 2nd player I unequivocally felt needed one more college year to refine himself and round himself into a player that could last a while. Richardson was the 1st.

I felt that way about Tyler Lydon. I thought he could have played a stretch 4 in the league, if he had gotten a bit stronger in the upper body, and a bit more reliable with his 3 point shot.

 

[dollarbill44]

Even if he is undrafted or 2nd round whatever I think he could? Make it because he has hes not like the others like some of them all the others that went 1st round when they shouldn't have his name the. Guy they have to have course shot against Pittsburgh or lyles. I mean these guys all had flaws that's all. We're exposed at that level juliments is a very extensive very quick very explosive type of point guard and I think that would be a hot commodity in

Hmmm

I agree, but it seldom seems to work out that way.

avg'd 33 minutes per last year as a frosh .we got 2 transfer guards already coming in who will want to eat minutes. if he plans on auditioning next year he's likely looking at less court time.

We have 3 transfer guards coming in - Starling Westry Cuffe

 

[kcsu]

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.

 

[dasher]

Unfortunately, barring something really unforeseen or a last minute change of heart, Judah is not pulling his name out of the draft. I hope for his sake that he hears his name called at the draft, because he could very easily go undrafted.

Our coaches don't know what he is going to do. His family has been tight lipped through the whole process.

 

[Bulldog04]

You’re like CONNECTED, no? We’re all waiting on you.

There’s a few of us on here that are. And I have not been told once that he’s going the nba route. He is doing what he’s doing now to get real feedback. And he’s done that. Now the feedback is saying to go back to school for a year. I’ll leave it at that for now

100 pct correct can confirm this as well as of last week and today directly from a coach

 

[kcsu]

Maybe Bees has a different source.

 

[atlanticuse]

Deep run in the Tourney wouldn't hurt either. See M.Richardson.

As I’ve said from the beginning.
Carmelo stock was improved or at least validated.
As was others like MCW and Richardson. Buddy? Maybe. Would he be in the NBA if they played .500 with no NCAAT runs?

 

[FrancoPizza]

Why are there only 22 likes for this?

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Just wait for the random team that gives him the famed “guarantee”. Why a team would do that when they can just draft whoever they want never made sense to me. But by all accounts it actually happens

Side note for people talking about how many guards we’ll have on the roster - stop thinking of PG, SG, SF, PF, C as the five positions.

It’s outdated.

If we get Judah back, we’re going to put team after team in a blender.

Exactly. Three guard lineups may be our base.

 

[0.2 YNdeeR]

100 pct that he either stays or goes.

Such a glorious thing to behold if he does come back.

Forget that. Even with positions, just get guys to compete with each other. Earn your spot.

Would anyone on this board take Judah in the first 50 picks

If I'm an NBA GM, all bias aside, there's a 0% chance I'm taking an undersized guard that hasn't proven he can consistently shoot the 3 anywhere in the draft. And I say that as someone who loves Judah as a player, and has some faith that he can develop his shot more.

Yup. We are going to be all up in peoples grill defensively. A marked marked difference from our sorry defenses of the past 5 plus years.
