Judah Mintz to test NBA Draft waters

[RF2044]

Judah didn’t seem to be around school much after the season - aside from going to class next yr maybe he has a few incompletes he has to finish up as well - maybe part of the equation is just not wanting to deal with school at all. Hoping not and thinking SU has a support system that helps these guys make school more ‘tolerable’

I've heard that after the semester ended, Judah packed up and left campus. Didn't hear anything about incompletes, him bailing on school, etc.

But it's understandable that he "didn't seem to be around school much" from that point forward, given that he was 100% focused on the NBA draft process.

Never thought of that... Maybe that's why Jason Collins is his hero.

And that’s how easy it is to start baseless rumors about people. A cautionary tale, kids - you’re welcome for the lesson lol.

and then...

Informed yes. However, agents, false promises, trades, etc. Unless a team gives him a contract prior someone better can slip into your spot. Signed, Will Levis

I do agree.. I recall how the Jonny Flynn situation went with you know who

Im a big judah fan and support whatever he decides but there is a biblical joke begging to be made if he leaves. Ill refrain for now.

IMO if he stays in it says more about him wanting to be done with college NOW than it does anything else. Historically when we are debating if a guy should stay or go we are asking "will he be a first rounder" . For a guy to knowingly go into this draft ether means to me he just doesn't want to be here, and is fine making $50k or whatever in the G League was a way out.

Nothing will beat Jesse leaving.

Marrone leaving did.

Agreed. Financially the smart move is another year at Syracuse. The NIL money he’d get would far outweigh what he’d make in the G league where he’s almost assuredly going to end up if he keeps his name in the draft. The only real reason to leave is to want to be done with college. Which if that’s what he wants then fair play to him.

if his intention was to go pro he prob finished his final class in december. Hard to put the hard hat back on educationally if that is the agenda.

i'll be shocked if he decides to stay

Nah this is totally off base

I assume this is typical of most guys who went through the same process Judah did

I love how many phycologists we have on here that know why a 19 year old they have never met is motivated to make HIS decision

 

[Cusefan0307]

It's 2023. Guys don't have to stay on campus to keep up with school.

May want to stand clear of message boards, or the internet in general.

It’s the same demographic that thinks the NBA doesn’t play defense.

I know how it works...just pointing out this idiocy of it all.

 

[atlanticuse]

demographic ≠ opinion of defense in the NBA.
I believe you meant "psychographic".

‘Defense is a lost art’: has the NBA’s offensive explosion gone too far?

Has defense fallen by the wayside in today’s NBA? According to some of the most influential players and coaches in the league, the answer is a resounding yes

FAU preseason Top 5? That may be a stretch.
