makes more sense now than ever, especially with the crazy NBA money. Nobody makes huge money over there, so offering a guy $4 or $5mm a year makes him on of the highest paid BB players were he NOT in the NBA. Clearly they scout this league and are looking for easy talent. Fingers crossed!

That also means more kids like Jennings will skip college and play overseas. If fact some will skip HS.

After Jeremy Tyler and Jennings Im not seeing this as a trend the last 5 years. Mundiay went to China, but got injured so is hard to say what benefit he derived.
Tyler left his junior year in High school and it was a bad idea. Jennings has had a nice career and he matured (So say him), but hard to quantify if he would have done better one year at Duke or Kentucky.
