Read through to the bottom.   Henry is not projected to get minutes and may be assigned to the D-league.    Works for me.   I'll go to a couple of Grand Rapids games wearing MU swag.

Maybe he can spend some time on the  "Marquette University" D-League team?

I knew the signing of former badger jon leuer was not good for HE...

Called it.

Obviously wasn't hoping for that, but people that thought Henry was ready to guard NBA 4s were simply high.

[augoman]

Can't believe Jon Leuer is still in the league.  And actually gets floor time.  Saw him a few times when with the Bucks.  Harder still to believe he would displace Henry as green as he is.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Good thing Chico's got banned. Didn't he have a bet with someone about Henry being sent to d league?

[We R Final Four]

HE gowne to the D League.

[Dawson Rental]

HE gowne to the D League.

As is CBB

[Herman Cain]

Maybe  HE will face up with his old pal Ben Bentil...

I don't think anyone thought that HE was ready to Guard NBA 4s.  I also commented on HE likely playing in the D-league. 

The counter argument, was one I didn't think of and was very valid, that he was a lottery pick and the team he went to would rather have him on the main roster to work on his game in practice to bang against NBA players every day. 

Still to be seen which is really going to be the case, but I really don't think many, if anyone thought he could guard NBA 4s now. I actually lean more towards him spending most of his time on the Detroit roster; it makes more sense long term for him to be developing with his teammates.

[GGGG]

I will point out that Henry isn't in the D-League.  This was simply a prediction.

[77ncaachamps]

^Yup. A First Round DP like HE isn't gonna last that long in NBADL. He'll get called up when needed and sent down for PT when needed.

[Stretchdeltsig]

Should have stayed at Marquette.

[GGGG]

Should have stayed at Marquette.

Why?  He's getting paid and working on his game daily. 

[The Lens]

Many were predicting D League, they may be right.  What they were dead wrong about was that he wasn't GOWNE, that he wasn't a 1st and that he wasn't GOWNE and that he wasn't GOWNE.

It doesn't matter where he ends up, he was always GOWNE.

[martyconlonontherun]

Should have stayed at Marquette.

Why? Will he magically get better guarding NBA 4s while playing against smaller players as a center in college? Will he be better off not making millions of dollars this year? Or would his stock sky rocket despite being a year older?

I willing to bet a good amount of money that he will play more minutes in the NBA next than he did last year at Marquette on top of the dleague games he would he playing in. And the average dleague team is better than the average d-1 team. It's not like he can't develop there.

No.  They are not right...yet.  Henry isn't in the D-League.

Much like the NBA, NBDL teams are still D1 all star teams.  Might be the backups on the all star team instead of the starters, but they're still the all stars.

So does that Henry banner in the Al come down now?

But it is still Grand Rapids playing in front of high school type crowds (if that) and their facilities are inferior to MU.  None of the away games are in major cities. 

So unless the Ellenson family is desperately homeless and living on assistance, another year at MU would have been preferable.  The money would be there in a year.

The only winner is Jay-Z.

Why does your family need to be poor to enjoy being an 18 year old millionaire?

How do you know what would have been preferable for someone that you've never met?

How do you know the money would have been there in a year?

And also, how do we know this article is actually going to come true. Its just predicting that HE Man is going to the D-League. I wanted him to stay too but to say he for sure would have been better off not going pro can only be an opinion and one that's not supported by many facts.

What you're missing is that Henry would make Marquette better, so it would have been the best decision for us as fans. Jeez, TAMU, would you stop thinking about the Ellensons for once?

[wadesworld]

People think NBA teams already have made their roster decisions before training camp started? Well, that's an interesting take.

Yeah, wades and CBB had that bet;  he probably doesn't want the money, but maybe a simple walk down Wisconsin avenue naked with only a samich board saying "FREE CHICOS"!!  And GO WARRIORS!!  That ought to do it, Eyn'a?
