He's saying this is his last year
my mistake - took it down...
Ok because I played it 4 times and I never heard him say it was his last year although it probably is.
Ok, I played it once and he said it. Clear as a bell. "I'm here for my last year"... "My final year" ... what didn't you hear?
While all this may be true, his heart wants to follow the dream. Besides, he can make a good living overseas for a bit.Remember Isaiah Whitehead?
Probably the best player SHOE has had since Terry Dehere IMHO. He was all BE, carried SHOE to the BE title, arguably one of the most valuable players in all of college bball that year
He was a 2nd round pick, on a Nets team that has now lost it's starting PG for the year, and he's still picking splinters out of his rear end on the bench. Barring further unforeseen cirucmstances I wouldn't be suprised if he is not on the roster at the end of this year.
Sanders--good player, but not quite on whitehead's level (at least so far ) on the college level.
Great to have aspirations, but NBA is not going to happen unless are you in the top <0.5% of players, and even if you are you may just end up having a cup of coffee.
NBA, especially for players under 6'3" is a pipedream.
I disagree he has all the natural ability and talent in the world. Where he needs to get it right is in his head. He lets his emotion take his game DOWN a level or 2. Once he figures it out he has a great shot at the NBA. If I was him I would take 1000 foul shots a day. He needs to get to 85 percentWhile all this may be true, his heart wants to follow the dream. Besides, he can make a good living overseas for a bit.
D league is exactly no one's goal. No one wants to just be in the D league, it is not really a glamorous lifestyle unless you have an NBA contract which very few D leaguers do.If Bishop Daniels can make the D-League then so can Corey Sanders. Bishop was announced on the Long Island Nets training camp roster.

It's becoming more common than the past to have a d league contract. The pay going forward will not be as bad as in the past. Sure, you can't buy a yacht, but if you put your money towards the right things, you can have a decent living.
No one wants to be a career D leaguer much like no one wants play Double A baseball forever.
of course, the point is that even a guard who was dominant (and quite frankly a far better shooter than Sanders) in college still can't make it in the NBA. NCAA guards, unless you are in the stratosphere kind of good, are not making the NBA, and in the future its going to be even harder as the game becomes more international.
25 years ago good but not great college players might be able to hang on a roster. now with basketball being more international (which is only going to increase) a college players--especially shorter guards-- chances of playing in the NBA are infinitesimal at best
And JJ Moore and Kadeem Jack...Corey is certainly making that, I think he needs 4 years for sure, but come on...I didn't know that. Thanks for the post. Good for Daniels.

Most never return.Just to update this, Whitehead demoted to the D-League today
Most never return.
The truth is the older he is in college, the less likely he will be drafted or invited to a training camp. You only see on average 1 or 2 seniors get drafted in the first round, probably only 6 seniors get drafted at all through the entire draft.
Sanders does not have one skill that stands out relative to NBA players ... not yet.
Maybe the quickness with the basketball in his hands going right. Maybe I don't see enough, but I cant see many guards better than him getting to the paint.
Disagree. NBA will find players of NBA caliber no matter where they play and no matter what the record is.I think the most important statistic for Corey's NBA aspirations this year will be Rutgers wins. It would open a lot of eyes if Corey leads this team up the B1G ladder.
