Judah Mintz to test NBA Draft waters

[SP_Gilbs]

Updated post combine Bleacher Report mock with some notes on Judah. Sounds like he helped his stock a bit but is still firmly mid to late second round and is advised to return and boost his stock to first round next year in a weaker class.

Thanks for stepping up!

That's a fan that puts his money where his mouth is!

This guy, I'll tell ya.

I was going to kick in the 100k nil money, but instead will be supplying the tailgate with ice cold refreshing zima.

judah could push us to the top of the ACC. and i would like him to experience march madness. be something to look back on when he's my age. carmelo made a ton of dough but never lifted another trophy.

The decision to come back would thrill a university, a city, and an entire fanbase. It would likely be more lucrative (immediately and long term) and probably put him in a better position to achieve his ultimate dream of playing in the NBA.

I find it hard to believe the allure of playing in a mostly empty arena to fans that don't know your name is really that big a draw. But I guess we'll see.

Ahhhh, good old zima. I remember kicking many of those back my senior year at Cuse (93).

 

[Gotothehole]

We should know soon if I had to guess he is running it back. This is rumor in the dmv,

That's why he is the only one who can make sense of it from his vantage point.

Even in G-league he may think it's one step closer to his dream.

Who knows how much playing in a packed dome is an attraction to him, he already experienced the dome and the status of the program is not packing the dome.

As fans we also do not know how much he enjoys going to class every day. That may be a big part of it. Go to classes every day or take that time to do shooting drills, strength and conditioning and strip clubs.

Syracuse has strip clubs. Sort of

I remember playing a show at lost horizon about 10 years ago and getting free admission to paradise found or whatever it was called. I enjoyed myself.

The Dome will be packed next year if he returns.

Portal ones would have to either be grad transfers or players that already put their name in the portal while declaring for the draft, like Kaluma.

 

[Widget24]

Seems like he's just stating the obvious.

 

[shandeezy7]

Yeah, names had to be entered in the portal by May 11 to be eligible immediately, right?

That's my understanding. Only grad transfers are an exception to that deadline.

Correct. Judah is NBA or Cuse.

Some booger eater here will still claim otherwise.
