Tyler Ennis: Hapoel Tel Aviv

[KevMonstah]

I believe Paul Harris was the first year that rule of you couldn't go HS -> NBA, but had
to do the one and done thing, and he was absolutely hosed / screwed / insert harsher
adjective here by that rule. He certainly would've been a 1st round pick.

And I'm not saying Ennis would've done better, but if the statement is, he made the
correct decision to leave after one year, and this is what his career is, I'm thinking,
injuries aside, more was there to be had.

I wonder if boeheim's army reached out to him or not for this year. Wouldn't be surprised though if he declined to give him the fact that he was injured last time he participated

Wish I had $5 million and a $57k pension at the age of 25 as a basis for whatever I decided to do in life. People have to get over the idea that it’s better to stay in school. That is rarely the case and I don’t think any of our guys that left are an example of the rare instance where it is bettter to stay.

Pension doesn't kick in until age 45 at the earliest to collect some sort of benefit, and 62 to receive full benefit.

Some NBA GM's are morons but I don't think any of them get tricked by a 6'4 guy with a questionable shot and handle.
