A nest egg playing over seas? The average salary there is like $60K-$100K a year. 5-7 years in Europe wouldn't save him squat in terms of a "nest egg".
Wonder if LW gets to play in the G-league "combine?"

For some of those teams the $60-$100K is in addition to the team picking up all of their living expenses so the ability to save is a little bit greater.
Also: he only has so many years to play basketball. Does an extra year in college now increase his earnings over the subsequent X years enough to make up for the year of lost income?
People talk about 300 players in GL.. yea those are mostly players that are there right now.. GL signs about 30-50 new kids a year.. most don’t get paid crap. But most have exhausted their eligibility too..
What does LW have to gain by coming back? Another year closer to an invaluable degree...an improved year b-ball wise maybe giving him a better shot at nba or even GL two way deal..
He stays in draft he will never see an nba court.

I believe he gets 500K euros / year (plus probably car and apartment) per year for 2 years. That's toward the high side but Valencia is one of the bigger clubs in Spain. There's guys making more than that on Barcelona and Real Madrid but the number of jobs is limited.
Chris Babb and Will both have been in the EuroLeague and have been in that range.
Guys like Bowie may have been making $40k or something along those lines, playing for a small club in Romania.
He should talk to Prohm and Monte. Coming back would be his best option. Continue to polish his game and get a degree to fall back on. Sure getting paid now sounds great short term from the G-League or overseas, but where’s that leave him after basketball? Take advantage of free schooling and try again next year after being “the guy” finally.
Where do these European clubs get that kind of money...?
Is it that popular live or on TV over there?
It has that kind of interest even relative to the NBA's global brand?

Lindell working out at a pro day event today along with many other prospects.
Monte is the poster child of hard work and patience. Kane came in and Monte didn't get pissed he just buckled down and worked hard and learned, I think Monte might have also had better people giving him advice, I think Mrs Morris is a pretty smart/focused gal. No matter how it turns out good luck to Wiggi.
I wonder if they have reps from overseas clubs at workouts like this. I don't see why they wouldn't but I've never seen it discussed.

I think G-league would be the best move for LW. Prohm is too laid back - LW needs serious improvement. a tougher, more demanding coach would serve him well.
(I love prohm for isu but maybe he and LW weren't best for each other).

That assumes he even sticks at that level.
He was the 6th man last year, was it still an injury issue or just not talented enough to start. If injury, it might get better, la k of talent best improved with sitting a year and a new coach. The latter might be best for him and definitely is for ISU basketball.
