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

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

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

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

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

Also a great take

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, 12:26am
That would be a stronger argument if he had already made that money.

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

I get that and don’t entirely disagree.

Mar 28, 12:35am
Isn’t the purpose of getting to a second contract a year earlier to have one

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

kotacoug
Mar 28, 12:48am
If he’s in the top 12 he should go. That’s too much money to delay. Otherwise

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?

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

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

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