As we've discussed here over the past few weeks, freshman Tommy Mason-Griffin is declaring for the Draft:
http://bit.ly/bPdzbY Fatal mistake
Not a lot to gain by going undrafted. RT @TheRookieWall Terrible PG class, not a lot to lose RT Tommy-Mason Griffin declaring for the Draft
Market for 5'10 overweight combo guards w/inflated egos is limited RT @TheRookieWall You honestly think Tommy Mason-Griffin goes undrafted?
@TheRookieWall What makes Tommy Mason-Griffin a better NBA prospect than Byron Eaton? At least Eaton had some experience running a team...
Maybe, but if I'm TMG,or any other freshman, I'm not "betting" my career on anything RT @TheRookieWall I bet Mason-Griffin will go in top 50
@TheRookieWall Looking at a chubby 5-10 unathletic combo who can't finish around the rim, "potential" isn't 1st thing that comes to mind.
The bottom line is, Tommy Mason-Griffin didn't want to be coached, so his "escape route" was to leave for the NBA. Big red flag there.
NBA teams are way too savvy these days to invest a very valuable roster spot on a guy who "might" develop into a backup PG in three years.
Teams will ask- can Tommy Mason-Griffin help me more than what we can get from a min. contract from the D-League or Europe? The answer is NO
YEP @thehoopsjunkie RE: Mason-Griffin - or they'll just draft Sherron Collins instead. Isn't he best case for TMG in 3 years, a backup PG?
No, but all indications are they will. Anderson has it down to 3 I'm told RT @tsrave: Have TMG and James Anderson signed with agents yet?
Spoke w/someone close to him. He's not responding to logic. Its 100% his own decision. RT @Minersfan21: Who's advising Tommy Mason-Griffin?
TMG is nowhere near as quick. Sub-40% 2-point percentage RT @TheRookieWall: Is Patty Mills that much different than Tommy Mason-Griffin?
That's not a given. No experience & his game doesn't necessarily translate RT @tomfrey1st: If TMG hoes undrafted he can make money in Europe
