No doubt, a 1st Rd. top 5 pick...we'll have to replace the Bird statue w/ LaRavia. Maybe GL will pay for it?

Never make it.
there is discussion going that he may do that as well, I mean Wake is not gonna make the NCAA tournament in 2023 either, so why stay? So he can play in another NIT tournament? LOL
Thanks -- I'm looking to lock in the 2023 Final Four teams on a parlay I'm putting down next week - who do you see making it to Houston?

I think any dude who has serious aspirations (not pipe dream guys) of playing in the nba and had decent/good numbers should go thru this process. Doesn't matter what year they are. Find out what you need to work on, go back to school if needed and get in the lab.
Yep, you're an idiot if you don't. Full stop. This is akin to my statement that you always accept a postseason tourney invite. In this case, he will get to work with pro advisers and work out with other top flight prospects to see where he sits.
I will say I think he would have likely had a higher profile had he stayed here but that's just me. I have no doubts he would have had a Doug McDermott level season in this system and he would have probably had a couple triple-doubles. What could have been.
He was never going to stay at ISU for four years. From the moment he set foot on campus, he was telling people he would only be here for two years and then he'd go somewhere bigger. But yes, he would have been a monster in the system we have now...

Happy for him. If he does stay in the draft, I wish him well.

He also would have been a member of Hooper’s Top 25, 2021-2022 Sycamore squad.
Agree. Just hope he gets good advice. Whether that’s staying in college or making the jump just hope he makes the right decision.
shame those tweets, texts, etc are public...
we've had plenty of players transfer in and out -- hope the kid follows the right advice

According to this website that I've never heard of before, the answer is:
"Many countries in Europe pay average salaries between $60k and $500k per season for a player playing in the top tier. Some Asian countries like Korea or Japan are also willing to pay a similar amount from $120k to $400k a season."
How Much Do Overseas Basketball Players Make?

depending on the club, some will cover the tax burden for the player, - i.e. if the contract is $500K, the player NETS $500K, housing incl. utilities, a car are also included above the salary - Italy and Spain are probably the best leagues, though Israel and Greece are also legit
Ample opportunities existed to become chattal of a Soviet oligarch (why you see some players moved from club to club, in different national leagues...)
Course Putin's Ukrainian fiasco has put a damper on some oligarchs money laundering via the pro leagues

Let's Rave About Jake LaRavia
The do-it-all prospect for Wake Forest is flying somewhat under the radar. Overshadowed by some bigger name prospects in the ACC, Jake LaRavia deserves your attention as a potential first round pick.
