Whats wrong with making 6 figures playing basketball? Jeremy Tyler is 23 years old. If he spend sthe next 2-3 years working on his body and fundamentals abig man will always have a shot at making it right back to the NBA. He seems to be stuck between 4-5 he needs to focus on a few skills and get them really good--hes all over the place sloppy. Learn how to make a 12 footer get two moves down rebound the ball and play good D and he will be back. He seems like a reasonable guy--hard work will serve him well.

Emmanuel Mudiay played his first two preseason games with the Guangdong Southern Dragons last week, playing well in the opener but struggling his second time out.

In the first game, Mudiay finished with 20 points, five assists and three turnovers, shooting 7-for-12 from the floor, according to Draft Express. The site also has an interview up with Pooh Jeter, a former NBA point guard that played against Mudiay in China.

“He handled himself pretty well,” Jeter said. “He wasn’t scared. I was happy to see that. It was his first preseason game. He came out there and just played basketball. It’s a big help to have, his mom was there and his brother and cousin, having them in the crowd I bet it made it feel easier.”

I really hope they revise the draft process for this season because it may give us an opportunity to draft Mudiay without having to suck too badly.

Big Men sometimes lose the motivation and plateau. BLatch has a skill set to be GREAT but has made millions anyway. Eddy. To some degree Tyson Chandler was a "disappointment" given his offensive game never really developed. He eventually found his niche and worked hard.

This game is not easy at the NBA level!!!!
