Sam Dekker entering draft

[tower912]

Speaking of favorite schadenfreude moment......    More likely, Bo cooled on him.

Good move. Potentially a top 15-20 pick. His stock will never be higher.

[MUfan12]

Good for him. Never understood why he got the crap he did from UW fans.

[GGGG]

Like his game.  Rooting for him.

[tower912]

I will like his game more now that he isn't playing it at UW. 

[Tugg Speedman]

Does that mean Dekker was a "rent-a-player?"

[4everwarriors]

Made himself a 'hole lotta sheckles in the dance, ai na?

Good move on his part, don't risk injury or a slump. His stock will never be higher. Let's see if he can develop his jumpshot like Jimmy did in the pros.


On a side note, three years in Madison, college major: undecided. I thought they all got engineering degrees under Bo?

Not really.

He has been projected all along as a pick in the 15-25 range. He probably just assured himself to be near the top end of that range.

[Blackhat]

Dekker looks like he's tweeking on greenies in that pic.

[jsglow]

Right move.  Lottery?

Was going to make them regardless.

[Spotcheck Billy]

there goes Bo's graduation rate again, poor coach just can't win for losing

[Tugg Speedman]

Has Hayes said what he doing next year?

[GGGG]

Has Hayes said what he doing next year?

Immediately after the game he insinuated that he was returning.

Without question

He makes a lot more earlier now, that cannot be disputed.  He gets a big raise from the exploitation of the NCAA tournament.

He will make less than $1 million more over the course of his NBA career now than he would've had he not had his NCAA Tournament performance.  Will the extra, say, $750,000.00 be nice?  Of course.  But that is a small percentage compared to what he will make over the course of his entire career.

Does this moron EVER give it a rest?

He's makes Ners' obsession with Derrick Wilson seem normal.

Nobody can do that.

I think you greatly miss the bigger point.  If he is a bust, then that money is big.  There is no guarantee you get a second contract.  The jump he makes alone in the first round is worth is beyond the $750K based on this page.  I had seen him at around 20th to 24th in February, now at 12th to 15th.   If you take the extremes of being picked 24th orginally vs 12th, that's about $2.3M over 3 years difference.  That's substantial coin.

I was looking more between 15 (around where I think he goes now) to 25 (where I thought he was going to go before the NCAA Tournament performance).  I guess I didn't realize that those 2 spots still make over $1 million difference in their first 2 years.  Whose option is the 3rd year?  Player?  Team?  Mutual?

I guess I just don't see Dekker not getting a second contract in the NBA, obviously assuming no injury or anything of that sort.
