How do you figure this is the case when it goes against everything we've heard?
Just because someone doesn't fit the NBA game doesn't mean they aren't valuable in college. Look out east at Garza who won POY but was was taken 52nd.
These two sentences don't make any sense. Any team that's willing to pay him 7M will be expecting him to be the primary scorer. It doesn't work any other way.
Buddy, I'm actually in the camp that thinks he should stay in the pro game. Just making a point that the spending is insane of some of these programs
Lol yeah high level shooters always hate the burden of shooting more
Some of it is from info shared on the premium board, but also talked about by CW on the podcast a month or so ago. Don't know exactly what podcast. We all know that the last few months of the season CW said Milan was likely coming back. Then, when Jefferson got hurt and Milan got shut down in the Tennessee game thinking changed. Milan realized how tough it was going to be without a guy like Jefferson at ISU and he needed to bolt for the NBA. He apparently knows his own limitations and doesn't think he will be as successful if he's the focal point of the offense at ISU and either wants to go to the NBA or be in a better offensive situation. Plus making millions more dollars doesn't hurt. Sorry if you don't like hearing that, but it's not something I am making up.
See above post. It's been talked about by CW on his podcast amongst other places.
Yeah, 24 million people living on a sandbar 3 feet above sea level is not a great idea.As anything else to do with Florida.
I remember the conversation. I think you're embellishing aspects of it.
Not really. Again, some of it may be colored by what others have said in premium too, but Milan was never coming back to ISU mainly because he was worried about how successfull he would be in the offense. The thought was at the beginning very likely he would stay in the draft and entering the portal was for the worse case scenario. Now, if he's not getting a guaranteed contract like he wanted and there is an insane bidding war for him, the college option is looking a lot more likely.
Bottom line, what life at ISU without a stud like Jefferson running the offense and Milan as the focal point was not appealing to Milan. No other way to put it. At least that's what those in the know have been saying.
WOW! What a loser mentality. I definitely didn't see Milan being someone that runs from being "the guy".
I mean, the fact is he's not great at getting his own shot and athletic defenders have been able to shut him down at times.
If he’s that aware of his limitations, wouldn’t one be inclined to think one isn’t ready for earning a spot in the NBA? Prudent to lock in $10+ million in college (using 5th year) at some stacked blue blood. Hopefully improve. Then go and try to earn NBA roster spot
The worst outcome would be to burn guaranteed millions in college salary by chasing NBA, only to not be ready or not make it. (Assuming ineligiblity is still a thing in CBB)
No, he was never going to be the focal point of the offense in the NBA. Just like he's not going to be a focal point of any of these teams that are going to pay him this outrageous sum of money. They all think they just need a guy to stand out there and nail open 3s when defenses focus on their studs, and no one is better at that than Milan. Maybe ever.
Milan should milk the college NIL contracts. Look back at AJ Dybansta game and Tennessee game or even the first Arizona game he struggles against good NBA level lengthy defenders. He can find a role in the NBA and I hope he does but I’m also not sure he will make the jump to the AJ green comparison either. Wishing him the best regardless and he is set for life with cash with either decision
Agree, but the implication of that is that not excelling in the focal point role at Iowa St shouldn’t factor in to the NBA decision
The NBA won’t penalize him much, if at all, if the focal point role is too much. On the flip side, he he shows potential in it, it may help
