I wasn't saying that Santi isn't up for the G league. Even if he gets a 2-way deal, Europe is his best option. He's unlikely to ever gain a regular NBA roster spotI think both these guys are in a position to decide if they play in G-league for sure. Whether or not they can get a 2-way is the big deal.
I try to be cup half full with former vols lol...but you're right. I think unless they get a commitment from an NBA team then go overseas. Going direct to G-league is like signing with the Browns as a QB or expecting anything but disappointment singing with the Clippers/Hawks/Hornets. Career suicide.I wasn't saying that Santi isn't up for the G league. Even if he gets a 2-way deal, Europe is his best option. He's unlikely to ever gain a regular NBA roster spot
I don't think he can "decide" for himself to play in the G League. I don't think being on a summer roster guarantees it
Correct. There are more options there. It's much more likely he lands an immediate contract in one of the European leagues. Some people assume his girlfriend or a newfound allegiance to the US is a major factor. I think it's somewhat of a factor. What if his girlfriend wants to go live in Europe? If he has coaching aspirations, that's probably the biggest factor to him staying in the states. Plan B. Plan A is his current stateTechnically, he can’t “decide” to play overseas either. Someone has to sign him. I’m just saying I don’t think he’ll choose the G-League if presented with both that option or overseas.
