Skipped college to play in Italy for a year, got selected 10th in the NBA draft.

Jeremy Tyler skipped his senior year of high school to play overseas, but got kicked off the team in Turkey from lack of maturity and ended up on a second-rate Japanese team. He did get drafted late in the second round in the recent draft, but if he had just gone to college as a one-and-done he most likely would’ve been a lottery pick.

But both those players are really young and with huge upside. I have a hard time seeing Reeves getting into the NBA

I would imagine that CBH wishes he had done some things different with Nelson, but this is totally on Reeves. He proved himself to be an immature meathead and disruptive to the team, body language and all.

Nelson isnt a child, he is an adult and it’s better that he figure out personal responsibility as soon as possible. That is probably the best thing that CBH could give him.

I hope it works out for him too- you never want to see a kid waste his potential. But you really think he was suspended for “bad body language?” Nelson was on the shortest of short leashes after repeated violations of team rules and immature behavior and should have been kicked off the team before the Texas game. Just ask his parents.

Reeves displayed a lot of energy and passion when we wanted to, but also took breaks and gave up when things didn’t go his way. He was essentially a ten year old kid out there and that just can’t be the type of player that represents UCLA on the basketball court.
