Malou staying in NBA Draft
- Thread starter cycloneworld
- Start date
Wish nothing but the Best he committed to us when he had many other good schools after him and would have came if he would of been cleared by NCAA inot my opinion
As opposed to what other option? He's apparently not going to be eligible so he might as well stay in the draft.
Has it even been confirmed that he graduated from DMACC?

Interview with the Kings media, he talks about Iowa State very briefly in it.

After Malou said he was staying in the draft I thought Prohm said he had expected Malou would have been cleared to play. As Malou made his decision weeks before the deadline (not that I have a lot of confidence the NCAA would have ruled in time) I assume he made it not based on his NCAA eligibility but on believing he had a chance to go straight to the NBA.
the interview above made it seem like it was an eligibility issue but that's probably just me
He never did get cleared! Prohmy! Expected him to get cleared or he never would have tied up a scholarship. Buy he was a couple weeks away and was not cleared had to go for NBA shot.
How do you figure?
If he stays, and is ruled ineligible, then he's either out of basketball for the year, or is forced to go to Europe, without any teams seeing him workout.
The only thing I wish, is that he waited until he did officially hear from the NCAA, before hiring an agent. If that's what you mean, then I agree. I'm not familiar with the process, maybe it's really important to have an agent early, in order to get a workout with a team. If that's the case, then the whole change of allowing players to have their name in longer really isn't helping the players out at all.
if he didn't think he'd be eligible what was the use of recruiting him? They also went out of their way to get him eligible, would reflect bad on the staff if it didn't work.
I was wondering if Malou had even signed on with a summer league team yet and it doesn't look like it. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...ts-2016-latest-details-on-top-rookie-signings I really feel bad for the guy as he's had it rough and never caught a break. A lot of good players on that list.
Yeah, that totally sucks. Hope he can make a living in Europe or something and show what he can do.
