Just a really and depressing story all around...
I'll admit that I wasn't that sad to see BDJ go after his one season, as he seemed to be a disruptive influence on the team both in and out of the locker room, and it seemed like after some adversity hit (i.e. when Jameel moved into the starting line-up, replacing BDJ) that he wasn't the same player, even though he still had his moments.
It is sadly ironic that with all the great players to have played for ISU recently, guys like Royce White, Will Clyburn, Kane, Ejim, etc., that he is the only one (besides Chris Babb) to have made even a minimal impact in the NBA, and I feel that's where the real tragedy lays; he had made it, he had his whole career in front of him, and he lost his life in a truly senseless fashion.
There was a comment in the other thread about how during his senior night back in '15 that the only member of his family to show up was his half-brother. If true, that's really depressing and I think that is a big clue as to why trouble seemed to follow him and why he made the choices he did.
RIP BDJ. May your soul and spirit find the peace that seemed to elude you in life. Thanks for being a Cyclone.
