ChosenOne Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 The Jeremy Tyler experiment has come to an end While Brandon Jennings(notes) is thriving in the NBA and chasing Ciara, another high schooler who went overseas isn't having quite as good of a time. Jeremy Tyler, who skipped his senior year of high school to play professionally in Israel, has had a tiny change of plans — he's coming home. From a statement by his team in Israel: "Due to personal matters, Jeremy chose to leave the team on his own will on March 18 and return home to San Diego," Maccabi Haifa owner Jeffery Rosen said in a statement. "We wish Jeremy all the best." Those "personal problems" Jeremy is suffering from? Well, he's probably just taking it personally that he's only played 76 minutes in 10 games for Maccabi Haifa. Not exactly world-beater numbers. Heck, not even Tskitishvili numbers. But since Tyler played a year professionally, he can't go to college. That means his next team is a bit of a mystery. Here's what his agent told Jonathan Givony of Draft Express after word got out earlier this month that he wasn't playing to well overseas. Yahoo!

Flash Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) Why don't international teams give these American kids a shot? Is there a bias or something? I'm not sure how the international coaches think so I'm just asking. It was widely reported that Jennings felt he was getting the short end of the stick in terms of PT when clearly he can play ball. This kid is a specimen though. He really should've stuck with going to Louisville though. Playing there would've been better but you can't fault the kid for making his own decisions.

Fair enough. I just wasn't sure because this kid obviously has a ton of talent. Its a shame he wasted his senior year of HS like that.

That's the team that used to play exhibitions against the Raptors right? Damn, what a dumb move for Tyler. Hopefully he gets drafted.

AtTheDriveIn Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Why don't international teams give these American kids a shot? Is there a bias or something? Ironic that you're talking about bias in the Euro V Americans debate. And why aren't they giving him a shot to play? Probably because he's barely 17 and playing for one of the better clubs in Europe. These are grown men he's going up against. He's no longer going up againsts kids who are out there to 'just have fun'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
