[...] see players choose the path of Brandon Jennings by going to Europe as opposed to their requisite year of college. There also certainly will be those who are not fit to make that jump. Hopefully we do not see a [...]

I think its safe to assume that regardless of Tylers outcome there will be others that will try their luck overseas. There is no particular route for success, just loopholes, and Jennings has found a fantastic way to earn (money) your position into the NBA after highschool.

Add Seth Davis to the list of doubters. He hates on WMG’s decision to send Makhtar Ndiaye over to help Tyler, thinks Sonny Vaccaro cared more about his own agenda, and mentions that the kid is really alienating himself from the rest of the team.

I can’t wait. you can see a promo video of the show @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XGKTE4hPGs . Its pretty cool. I did not think Israeli Basketball was so popular!!

Did you see that Maccabi Haifa Israeli basketball game with that kid Jeremy Tyler who is a 6’11 260lb beast who left high school early to play pro basketball…? The Guy is going to be good….. I was watching the game on http://www.triangleinternet.tv and Jeremy Tyler didn’t do that well, he only had 1 point but you can tell he’s got a lot of talent.

Too early to tell. He’s a year younger than even Jennings, and a big man. They take the longest to peak usually.

The key (as it was with any successful high school to pro leaper) is their maturity level. Talent, while necessary to make it, is probably #2 to mental approach. The bigger high school successes in the NBA were mature well beyond their years. The failures had poor mental focus. simple as that.

The only fans still supporting Jennings during the NBA draft had been in his camp since high school. Similar criticisms were floated about Jennings during his time abroad. There wasn’t an ounce of good press regarding Jennings between his announcement to go abroad and his first solid performance for the Bucks.

I expect Jeremy Tyler to be the same story. If he can push through two years of criticism and less playing time, he’ll get the chance to prove his game in the NBA. Playing team-oriented ball in a pro league has obvious benefits to young players.
