One of the greatest high school players I ever saw play . Orlando Lightfoot played in Europe his entire career. He told me that it wasn’t the nba but 600k a year for playing a game that he loved was not a bad consultation prize .

I think Vescovi and JJJ will both play in Europe--and they certainly have every chance to play well. I don't see JJJ making
a mark in the NBA--he's a real long shot. For starters, he's a tweener--not really a guard and doesn't have the size or length to be an impact
forward. He's got a nice mid-range jumper--but that is not exactly a prized skill set in a league dominated, unfortunately, by 3-point shooting. Indeed, I think Vescovi would have a better (long) shot of making an NBA roster than JJJ, as he is a true guard and can shoot--but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. They can both have good careers in Europe, I would think, if they choose that route. Here's wishing those two Vol stalwarts all the best!

Can shoot, yes. Will he shoot? Not sure after his last season...

Didn't Lightfoot start out at Hiawasse JC, then transferred to Georgia Tech and played on that Lethal Weapon 3 (Kenny Anderson, Brian Oliver and Dennis Scott) Final 4 team ?

He played at juco at Hiawasse and then followed his coach to Idaho. Where he became the school and conference’s all time leading scorer. 2100 plus points. He originally signed with OU but was a prop 48 and went juco. It all worked out in the end for him. Nice guy with a great story

Ok, my bad. I guess I'm thinking of Malcolm Mackey, another Chattanooga kid

No matter what, you’re paying taxes somewhere. Whether it’s in your home country or in the country where you earn the money. Moving isn’t some get out of taxes loophole.

Have you not been paying attention - billionaires don’t pay taxes and by fixing that it will cure our deficit!

Saw on another site this AM that he has been signed by Golden State for the NBA summer league. So he gets his shot.
