Drew probably should have returned for his senior year to improve his skills. Summer league is a 7 week season with no guarantee of playing time. It's a longshot from there to even get to the Gatorade G-league. Coming back to play one more year for the beavs would have been a long path too but one more year competing against many future NBA players in the Pac 12 could have gotten him drafted.

IMO didn't feel like he was going to drastically change between this year and next year even if he stayed, didn't see the basketball IQ ticking up. Either you have it or you don't at this stage. Plus once you're a senior, it's almost like a strike against you. Only 2 seniors taken in the 1st rd I think? Hit summer league, the G-League, go to Europe, see the world, play hoops. Still not a bad gig if you ask me. He probably came along at a bad time too in the NBA. Everyone trying to replicate the Warriors, so he needs to be a sharpshooting stretch 4 or a monster rebounder/rim protector at the 5. |

I also think he made the right decisions if he really didn't like being in school. Playing in Europe is a great gig/experience, and he should be able to make that happen at least.

Basketball probably has more opportunities to play around the world than any sport - the NBA is just the pinnacle, and you usually make more than a free agent in football or a guy in short season A ball in baseball. Good luck Drew!

Drew does not fit the Euro style of ball... at all levels it is a shooters set of leagues. Bigs over there shoot it, from everywhere. From 15 on if you can shoot it you're playing somewhere at some level. very few opps for post up type players, very much transition game where Drew can run, but at huge disadvantage in the shooting department. |

If you haven't watched the NBA... that's the style there now too... Very, very, VERY few back to the basket big men anymore. Even Nurkic in Portland, the "Bosnian Beast" has a better looking three ball than the odd assortment of flips and half hooks he has in the post... But, then, I think that is kind of the point of Drew leaving now, and mostly to play in Europe NOT the NBA. He needs to go learn how to become a stretch 4 and he wouldn't be doing that in a 4th year with the Beavs... His path to the NBA is learn how to shot (if not a three at least mid-range) and be able to sky in for off the ball blocks and gobble up 10+ rebounds a game. |

But he'll fit at the NBA level? Where Brook Lopez and DeMarcus Cousins shoot 3s now? |

Well he hasn't lit the Summer League on fire, but he's getting some time. Game 1 Eubanks got 14 minutes and put up 5 points (on 2 for 3 shooting), 4 rebs (3 offensive), an assist, 3 blks and 2 TOs. Game 2 he played 17 minutes and put up 8 pts (on 2 of 5 shooting), 2 rebs and 1 assist, block and turnover. Both games he came off the bench.

Anybody know why Drew didn't dress tonight? ESPN box score says it was a team decision but no details.

He did graduate. That is another reason why he left. |

He did graduate. That is another reason why he left. I've never claimed he was negative towards academics, he could have been a stud baseball player as well, and those guys seem to do pretty good in the classroom at OSU. I've always wondered how he would have turned out under the wing of Yeskey as a 6'11" pitcher  |
