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. There is no evidence that the coaches were in anyway overwhelmed by McDaniels’ decision making process. It seems to me that they have been a bit overwhelmed with the recruiting process as a whole. Last year he returned and the coaches still had a roster spot go unfilled. How did his “delayed” decision impact the team? They didn’t replace Jalen, like Nevada did with their potential early departures. This year, the coaches knew damn well that McDaniels would not return. His NBA draft flirtations ultimately had no impact on the team. Media chaos? Pure hyperbole. SDSU basketball isn’t a national power and doesn’t garner much in the way of attention. The local sports radio hacks and Zeigler at the UT are the only members of the media to cover the team in any substantive way. both are solicitous to the interests of the team. they were unwilling to report negatively and thereby restrict their access to the program. There was hardly a maelstrom of bad publicity surrounding MBB program. I don’t understand why you, and others, are so willing to attribute poor play to the supposed moral failings of the players rather than acknowledging their evident lack of talent and polished skill.

Your attempt to make it sound like you're a SDSU aficionado continues to be monotonous. In your argument or whatever this is, the contradictions are plentiful. We know, or most of do, that SDSU is not a national power or a cartel program that gets a lot of exposure. So again, why did McDaniels chose SDSU with a mentality of going pro quickly? Could it have been that top programs got a hold of information about his character in high school before SDSU did? Also, you seem to be blaming the Aztec coaching staff as usual for players "Lack of talent or polished skills." If McDaniels doesn't have the talent or skills necessary for a college team to play well together, then why is he leaving a program to try and become a professional? If McDaniels wasn't getting the tools necessary at SDSU which you seem to be implying, shouldn't he have just transferd, polished up his skills if you will, and increase his monetary value? I don't think Jalen has made or is making good decisions and some of them led to distractions for the program. Again, just my opinion. Good luck to him and the decisions he makes going forward regarding his future. Go Aztecs!!

Good luck to him and the decisions he makes going forward regarding his future. Go Aztecs!! JMcD showed a bit in his RS freshman year to get noticed by the NBA. High motor, showed movement with smarts on offense with the ball in the air which led to O-rebounds and put backs. Went into the draft system and was told what he needed to show in order to get a look from the NBA and his second year on the court he was trying to do that. It wasn't the best for the team, however, and you can look at his stats to confirm that. It's hard to get a O-Reb when you are the one shooting from the 3 point line and his shooting the 3 pointer was not noticeably improved and we had many other options for those shots that were a better weapon. His off court issues were certainly a distraction, even if only a distraction for him. For anyone to say differently is being deliberately ignorant. And I am not one who is going to blame the coaches for his disappointing season, he was playing to showcase himself to the NBA and the team was secondary. I do wish him well in his NBA career but there are too many players who over-value themselves into thinking that they are NBA quality and give up a free college education that will be an asset to them once they can no longer play ball for money.

Even if he gets drafted, about 80% of the players selected late in the 2nd round will never stick in the NBA. In 2013 Jamaal Franklin was drafted 41st and got waived shortly thereafter.

No, he was given a two year guaranteed contract. He was given the same opportunity as a first round pick. Being selected by the grizzlies was unlucky. At the time, that franchise put very little effort in developing players and played an extremely tight rotation of aging players. First and second year players didn’t see the court in Memphis.

I agree. That match was such a disappointment. He's made his mark in China and is making a nice salary but I'd love to see him in the NBA. I think he's kind of a tweener in size although his motor might give him a chance. I never thought X would do very well in the NBA because although he was really clutch and smart, he never struck me as being quick enough for the level. But he was easily one of my favorite all-time Aztecs.

I think that his lack of elite handles has also held him back.

Another case of a guy leaving too early Not at all. He is who he is. Coming back next year wouldn't have improved his stock or even game that much. At worst, he will be playing in Europe next season making 6 figures. He made the right decision. He is ready to move on and try his skills at the next level. And with his lawsuit, leaving the country may not be a bad idea. If you are not in the 1st round I think it is a mistake to leave early although the G League and Europe are options for players that do not want to go to school. I thought having a degree was of some importance!
