Question on Henry's announcement

[Windyplayer]

Pretty good run of 10 or so pages before this thread went in another direction. Color me impressed.

I follow this mock draft as it consistently has Henry ranked lower than the others.

He is currently 16th.

The Money is good, but not necessarily set for life as the  top 5  or so are.

Yes, but is it accurate?  Or are you saying you just want to look at info that projects HE lower?

[BobWildLoyalist]

The beer company I worked for in College made/distributed Classic Ice 48 packs. Sometimes when we packaged those, we would slip a bag of pretzels/beer nuts in too (to mask the flavor probably).

You are Welcome.

After 12 Classic Ice's I didn't care or know what I was drinking. Swoopem always had to carry that massive case home from Dany's because he wasn't quick enough on the "not carrying" draw. Home was also like 3 blocks away on 20th and Michigan. Probably explains his girlish figure and constant need to take off his shirt looking for some reassurance

It is also the one that performed historically the weakest.  I have no idea why he chooses to follow that one.

Data from last year's 2015 NBA Draft

OK so not *the* weakest, but behind ones like Draft Express and Ford at ESPN.

What's up with Aldridge?  NBA.com's own insider doesn't have the connections?

Sultan, just to clarify im with you. Have heard Nbadraft.net is pretty bad over the years.

No I very much appreciate the stats.  Thanks.

The number 1 draft pick get $13m total.  That is not enough to fund your life after basketball the next 50 to 60 years (one and done has no other skill other than HS basketball coach).

Again, for a guy like HE, the first contract is a purgatory that much we waited out until the second and third contact.  That is the money.  The first contract is just noise ... if he is really as good as everyone says.

So, again, it is irrelevant where he gets drafted.  I would argue going 10 to 15 might be better as you go to a better team that might he develop you more for the second contract.  You really want to go the that mess known as the Nets, Suns or Knicks?  That is a jail sentence.  Better to be drafted by Dallas or Washington, organizations that actually have a clue

[Tugg Speedman]

Did anyone see HE on campus today?  Did he return to school from Springbreak?

If you have a decent financial guy, that's more than enough. Before increasing that's over $200k per year for 60 years. Before taxes, but still, enough if you don't live like an idiot.

I was just gonna say that, 13 million is way more than enough. Pretty sure my parents will never see anywhere close to that amount but we're still able to live very comfortably.

[GGGG]

If you can average a 5% rate of return, $13 million gets you $650,000 per year.

Was told no Henry in class today.

That is before tax. More than 40% will go for taxes. There will not be much left to save, if player cannot control his spending.

Oh.

As Patrick Ewing said, "Sure we make a lot of money.  But we spend a lot too"

Anything else you can add or is this third hand?

Hey New York Warrrior!

NBA Draft Net is literally the WORST

DraftExpress is the best.  Jonathon Giviney (top editor) is a regular on Woj's site + many others.  And years ago Chicos bragged on him. 

STOP looking at NBA draft Net.  It sucks. 

It would be like a few years ago me saying Cam Newton sucked and you saying he was Top 5.

The more you quote NBA draft Net the worst you sound.

Henry was top 10 his senior year of HS, and he's stayed there.

WAKE UP TO REALITY!!!!!

You guys don't get it...whether Henry stays or goes, he HAS to finish class...otherwise it will affect MU's APR in future years..That's the bottom line. He's not going to just stick it to MU like that.

He doesn't have to do anything.  Many of our 4 yr pros did the same thing

How do you know?   Why does he care about MU?

[muguru]

His parents care...in case you forget, his dad is an Alum. His mom is a teacher. I'm pretty sure education is important to them.

[GGGG]

Henry doesn't have to be physically in class to continue with school.  I feel confident that even if Henry enters the draft, he will find a way to retain his academic eligibility and therefore not harm MU's APR score.
