Super athlete but the kid has mental imbalances.

Many kids do.

Nephew of Jay Z apparently.

All i can see is he was suspended for code of conduct, that could mean a number of things. And to say he has mental imbalances is pretty harsh, 1 in 5 have mental health issues, give the kid a break.
But seems to be exciting prospect, 44 inch vertical and some poster dunks. If his suspension was due to some immaturity, hopefully some of Melbourne's veterans can steer him right. Good pickup IMO.

This next 'star' thing is getting to be a joke!

Star means any America kid amd if he can jump high that’s a bonus

The guy couldn't go back to Washington, he did something bad, even worse than last years Washington player who was suspended.

He's honestly not that bad a player, but a bit of a stretch for NS. I think the NBL would have seen his relations to JAYZ and thought $$$$ opportunities.

He's on te fringe of the 2nd rd draft.

Getting him straightened out and building his body could see him make the nba

We could see nz, sem and Perth with ns also.

Andthe bullets.

I can already hear Dwayne Russell really milking the Jay-Z connection on the commentary.

Here's a highlight of him dunking on Marvin Bagley:

Why'd the kid get suspended from college? Seems like a risky move for Melbourne imo

Hopefully he's a dud. More chance of the Kings winning it all.

Can't see him get more than 20mins a game.

In hoops tradition we will all hate on him until he does something.

Gee wizz some of these comments really highlight the continuing stigma of mental health for athletes. Good on him for the opportunity.

He'll split minutes wit McDaniel asbackup 3

I hope MU looked into why he was suspended by Washington. Really really bad reason. This could be a PR disaster..

why not look into it yourself?

United following breakers lead again, they had rice and now....?

Can someone just say what he did? All I can find is he was suspended and no further comment made. What did he actually do?

Why the obsession with what happened.

Sexual assault of two students according to NBLnews on instagram

2 victims but maybe more unreported.

Wtf. If te sign him, United andthe nbl will look like morons.


Nz bringing in rice was bad enough.

Raped 2 women is what people have said online.

But the alleged victims are the ones speaking out on social media.

Given he has been suspended by his university, you would conclude that he's done something wrong. Whether it is something criminal or not though, is another matter.

"Raped 2 women is what people have said online."

People online say a lot of things though. People like to assume the worst.

Yes. Do you know the process's a rape victim has to go through when taking it to the police and the justice department?

^^^exactly.
Unless there is evidence of serious miss conduct, the kid deserves another chance.

The NBL has said he won't be signing

Olgun hasn't quite got this one right it would seem

How do you know all that ME?

Did Olgun say it was happening?

Yet no quote. Pffft

Looks like he was finalising a deal (like what was reported), and then the deal was pulled after his sexual assault investigation became public. Olgun clearly wasn't wrong here. The deal was on, and then cut today

Regardless of what he did or didn't do, he doesn't qualify as a NS! It's becoming a joke.

"Between the original definition of an NS and the concessions the Sydney Kings got in Lazada, doesn't this guy qualify?"

I would've thought so, he would be draft eligible next year?

Louzada and Jessup seem to be the two exemptions to the original rule.
