see the world and get paid for doing so vs. sitting in class. not a hard choice. but he did leave too early. he got caught believing in all that first round money talk. and at this point would he make that much improvement staying in school and playing another year? nah.

I expect Jalen whether being drafted or not (i think he'll be drafted) will be signed by someone to a 2 way deal. I don't know the exact totals but it seems most players on 2 way deals make between 300-500 K, that is very good money

From Google:
NBA two-way players will earn $77,250, prorated for days spent on an NBA G League roster, and the NBA rookie minimum salary, prorated for the days with their NBA team, for maximum potential earnings of $385,000 next season. This season, 83 players across all 30 NBA teams signed two-way contracts

Your information is from 2012. Your numbers aren’t valid anymore.

Your information is from 2012. Your numbers aren’t valid anymore. You are correct...those were 2012 salaries In 2019, G-league players earn either $19K or $26K...next year, in 2020, they will all earn $35K...or roughly $17.50 /hr. |

Maybe he has a future in video production … (couldn't resist)

Not sure I understand why people on this board continue to rah rah this guy. Definitely hope things work out for Jalen and people do change. But McDaniels was a distraction from the beginning with all the NBA fluff and his alleged strange behavior in high school. SDSU's coaching staff and the athletic department knew what they were getting and took a chance anyway. I believe this was a distraction to other players with Jalen getting all the attention. While there were flashes of McDaniels being a great player, I didn't see the consistency that would endorse the NBA hype. People say it would be a waste of time to come back to school because he going to get paid somewhere. But at this point, a degree and further development as a player and a person might not be such a bad idea. What happened to the student athlete who commits to the university and his teammates?

I'm not sure how often the term "student-athlete" really applies anymore in D-1 FB and men's BB. There are exceptions but it's almost more of a training or apprentice program for the kids. To play at the D-1 level in those sports, they had to be dominant players in high school and I guarantee that all of them thought they might go pro one day when they accepted that scholarship. THAT'S what the majority of them are after, not a college degree. When reality hits, some bear down and know they'll need that diploma after all but I doubt that was their thinking initially. I don't blame them, that's just the culture of D-1. |

What happened to the student athlete who commits to the university and his teammates? Simple question, easy answer. Sorry, but when the NCAA, shoe companies, TV networks, coaches, athletic directors, etc., et. al., are gorging on the $billions these kids generate and then have the huevos to turn around and tell these same kids, "No soup for you!" -- I, in turn, have trouble feeling any sympathy whatsoever for those who say these kids owe any iota of loyalty to their schools, teammates and fans. That's the way it is, and that's the real world. So if Jalen wants to go make some $$$ on the skills he's spent a lifetime developing, great. He's probably not NBA material, but I'm sure he'll do well somewhere, and I wish him the best. |

His decision making so far hasn't extactly been stellar. And if basketball doesn't work out, then what? |

He’ll be able to go back to school with zero distractions: No practice, no film study, no media interviews, no travel days, no JAM center skill development, no mandatory strength and conditioning sessions. The money he earns should allow him to avoid student loans and allow for a more comfortable life than that of the typical college student. |

Actually , these guys ARE student-athletes. Despite all the time and travel required of them , student athletes consistently have a higher GPA than the general student only population. That is very impressive to me , I would certainly hire a student-athlete over a non-athlete all other things being equal.

One and done and other Very Elite Athletes are not your typical student athletes, they are wired differently. I am not saying all but most are just, different. I would say that most student athletes are your typical over achievers. We are talking basketball right? It would be interesting to see what classes were taken by ALL of the one and done and or prodigies (drafted or not) over the last 10-15 years. Then see what happened to these players/student athletes. |

So he can go to Europe and make $100K a year. And if he dazzles in Europe he can come back for another year of $100K. Certainly no small potatoes, but if he comes back to school and blows it up he could have a chance to move his stock in to the 1st round.
Is Trey getting NBA offers for blowing it up in Canada? (rhetorical question, answer is no).
Not sure he is making a good choice. $100K in Europe would be there next year.

It’s ridiculous to state that he was a distraction. There is no evidence that Jalen was anything but a hard working team player who gave it his all.
I don’t think that he’s an NBA talent. As he ages, his slight frame and lack of wing skills will eating into his perceived potential and erode his draft stock. So staying in college wouldn’t get him a first round payday and contract. If he becomes an NBA player it will be more likely a result of improved skill level than a significant change to his build. As a pro, he’ll be better able to work on his game and body thereby reaching his maximum potential. I think that he’ll fall short of his ultimate goal. Nonetheless, if he values a professional career over the college experience he’s made the right decision.
As far as 💰 💰 💰 is concerned he’s better off collecting checks now. Staying in college won’t extend his paid playing career. So leaving means more years getting paid. As he’s never going to be a higher draft pick than he is now, his path is through the G League and Europe. The sooner he starts the sooner he’ll see his biggest payday.

It's ridiculous to state he wasn't a distraction. How about the coaching staff trying to figure out if a guy is leaving or staying and the effects that has on recruiting. I guess you don't remember the media choas created when McDaniels aledged attempt at a filming career was exposed and the footprint that was left on the athletic department and coaching staff. San Diego State does not have the big shoe, apparel and tv money that the cartel schools have. If McDaniels was supposedly the next big thing out of high school, then why didn't he go to a school with a rigged one and done system and get more exposure than playing at SDSU? 🤔 Sorry, I would rather see a classy Aztec team win with built leadership, disapline and players that play as a unit and are committed to the university than a team with a bunch of individuals. And in my opinion, McDaniels and the majority of players from last seasons team did not resemble those qualities. |
