Corey not having to play 35 mins and get shots in better situations and not having to go one on one all the time will help in itself. Having teams having to respect other shooters would help too.
I am surprised we havent heard or no one has uncovered any clues about Corey since B1GT
- Thread starter Greene Rice FIG
- Start date
And then regressed back down to .341 as a senior. I don't think you're going to find a player whose first three years went .315 .266 .224 suddenly jump up over .350 as a senior.
I am talking about Johnson over the length of his career. I think next year he will be a 4-5 ppg player with 2 rebounds. Competition will be high next year. I think scoring will be lower per player, but more spread out.
If it's about the dream, he should stay his last year. More exposure, more development.
If it's about the short term money, then he should play overseas or wherever.
We've heard him say it himself. The goal is the NBA. You guys think he is at his full potential and that he should make the most of his current value. But if he has any belief in himself at all, he needs to believe he can take it up a notch. You guys forget...
Freshman year = Offensive firepower, but less emphasis on defense, IMO
Sophomore year = First Pikiell year, More balanced emphasis on being elite in offense and defense
Junior year = Hell of a lot of minutes on a condensed schedule, playing on the strongest conference schedule
Fitness-wise, it has gotten progressively harder, IMO. Next year, he has more experienced teammates/new guard help and a spaced out, normal schedule. If it's any year, next year is the year to shine.

IMO a lot depends on how the situation is back here in Lakeland Florida.
50- 240$$ looms large if circumstances are rough & family responsibilities need to be met.
I surely hope he returns but I can totally understand if he doesnt.

Average of $100K... so new signees that aren't NBA prospects would probably be less than that. Saw a report from 2013 that said most salaries were $2500-5000/month, but American players would usually see a bit more. It didn't say if that included the offseason, but working that out to a 12-month salary would be just $30-60K.
I am not for paying college players (per say) but this is an example of where some form of financial (call it bridge) support would be effective. A guy that might/could stay for his Sr. year and get his degree vs. leaving to chase perhaps $100k.
I don't know the answer but there is enough cash out there in college sports to figure something out like they do with insurance policies for players worried about getting hurt. And even better if the funding went direct benefit of family support (not say cash but credits for housing and food and child support etc)... the compassionate conservative side of me :)

About as many as juniors. I imagine.
Not a statement that statement of staying for his senior year is useful for his career or likely. I think he's gone and I believe it's the most sensible decision for him to make.
