I have to admit that I dont remember him at all from their opening round loss vs Siena. Did he even play?

Yeah, he played and he helped Ryan Rossiter get 16 points and 15 boards. I will be completely shocked if he becomes a good player in the NBA, even if he is a solid bench guy. He had issues with not getting enough playing time from the coach and was benched in the B10 championship game so no surprise he is leaving but I think a move to the NBA is laughable (but then again I thought the same about Robin Lopez).

He's a perfect example of someone that would have benefitted from another year or two in college. He's got some major holes in his game that need major work, that the pros will exploit all night long.

I dont think that he will get that shot. He may wind up going back if he is smart (which is unlikely) and the NBA scouting dept tells him to learn Hebrew cause he is headed for Israel, not Indy.

Robin Lopez at least started. If you are 7 feet tall and a true NBA prospect and cant get playing time on a mediocre team you have D-League written all over you. If he wants to leave he should transfer.

Yeah, transferring would make a lot of sense but someone has his ear and told him he's a future NBA player. I think they are very wrong.

That might be enough to get me to take a trip to Beulah.
