kotacoug Intervention Needed

Around he could become a top 5 pick next year. Which is where the real money is at.

I’m not talking about improving his draft status. I’m saying, if he were my son,

He is a non-LDS kid from Russia, not an LDS player enjoying Provo. Not saying.

I don’t get it? None of the usages of SA I’m familiar with fit here.

Which goes back to how much he’d enjoy it. Maybe he wouldn’t enjoy another

gwalker

Mar 28, 12:01am

But he does have an LDS GF who lives in Provo. So that could be a draw

Hopefully it is

If you are paying attention, he is loving Provo and the BYU experience.

Cougarbib

It’s obvious that he is quite happy in Provo right now. Why end it now?

Agreed. If I was him, I'd probably just go if I was projected Top 15. Seems like

For his sake, I'm so glad he came to BYU w/ a more wholesome environment for all those things.

This is a really great take

So let’s say he is the 8th pick this year

He could get an insurance policy that would pay him more than just what

Egor hasn’t been one he left Moscow to go to Spain and then Spain to go to

johnnybyu

Mar 28, 12:10am

Math changes significantly >15th pick, if he’s projected below he should go Pro

Mar 28, 12:23am

Also a great take

theonick

I want Egor to stay. But I don’t think it’s realistic play the

I’m not saying people don’t see it how you say they do. Clearly nearly everyone

gwalker

Mar 28, 12:21am

But Egor hasn’t made that money yet and it’s far from guaranteed. I agree more

johnnybyu

Mar 28, 12:21am

No. Enough to never have to work again is a virtual certainty. And if he isn’t

gwalker

Mar 28, 12:23am

It is not a certainty at all. Lots of examples of a great prospect

Mar 28, 12:24am

“Enough to never have to work again” is a goal and mentality you have as a

garyfan

Mar 28, 12:26am

That would be a stronger argument if he had already made that money.

garyfan

Mar 28, 12:24am

I already addressed the “material” argument abundantly. What people think will

gwalker

Mar 28, 12:29am

I get that and don’t entirely disagree.

garyfan

Mar 28, 12:35am

Isn’t the purpose of getting to a second contract a year earlier to have one

gwalker

Mar 28, 12:42am

It’s not just about getting to the second contract a year earlier.

I agree & said exactly what you did 3 wks ago & got killed on CB for it. Loads

kotacoug

Mar 28, 12:48am

If he’s in the top 12 he should go. That’s too much money to delay. Otherwise

kotacoug

Mar 28, 12:46am

Rookie deal is 4 years guaranteed, you take the money. Even if he is late 1st

How does money at a certain threshold make you more likely to be enslaved by it

He got outplayed by Saunders this year...next year he might be the 3rd best

It seems that Egor is not motivated solely by money, fame, fortune, but he has

Well said. He technically has played “pro” already and knows what he’s in for.

BYU needs him to go to the NBA. NBA drafts seed recruiting fruit.

Does he come from living condition, family needs the money that would effect

Nah. If he’s projected to be a lottery pick then he has to go. Too much can

Does Hall stay if Demin stays?

If demin goes, after watching the other sweet 16 teams, I just don't think we

He is capable of being a starting PG on a top 10 team

JoeExotic

I could see that but the margin for error would definitely be smaller.

Undefeated

Mar 28, 11:30am

I honestly didn't see a huge gap between Demin and Hall this year.

CougarBreath

I get what you're saying. I kind of thought that at a couple different points

From a purely financial standpoint, you gotta go to the NBA. But I've made a lot
