Sort of like your post?
I would hope that he could make it ,but he a way too slow for the NBA.He could make it in Europe.That is reality.
It’s never a waste of your time to pursue your dream, no matter the odds. Should JE just resign himself to Europe and not even attend NBA workouts that he is invited to? Jeez. Even if he doesn’t impress at all, the feedback is invaluable.
True. Anytime you do something that can make you better is never a waste of time.
As you said, what if he never tried? Then he would go on through life wondering, what if???
Good luck Jon
nevertheless, good enough for the folks that know and understand the professional game, to take a close look at him. I'm shocked they didn't save some time and just check on a message board for some clowns thoughts.
Is there a professional league in the world that is harder to get into than the NBA? In terms of the number of people playing the sport at a level higher than amateur, versus the number of available roster positions in the league.
Maybe the PGA?
Maybe the PGA?
Haters gonna hate. I’ve said it before, I wouldn’t bet against him. They said the same things about Stockton and Nash.
I've been quite critical of the basketball team this season...by my God I'd never wish ill will towards someone wanting to pursue their dream.
You call this a waste of his time...
He's had exactly 1 more Timberwolves workout than your lazy self ever will.
But hey, tell us what isn't a waste of time.
"[T]oo slow"? What does that even mean in the context of basketball? I didn't know someone's 40 time was a measurement NBA teams rely on in deciding whether or not to draft a player. Now, if you said "unathletic," you might have an argument (although I would disagree with it). But saying someone is "too slow" for the NBA reeks of ignorance and a personal bias against Elmore. In sum, you're an idiot.
Do you seriously not understand the concept of speed/quickness on a basketball court?
Just like pursuing a dual degree in Art Appreciation and Eastern Literature?
So if you had a dream and a chance to follow that dream, you would just give up on it? If you answered yes to that then I would imagine you are not very successful in life.
We all have dreams, most of us however don't get the opportunity to pursue it.
Heck, I wanted to be a MLB player. There were no teams calling me asking me to tryout. Jon has that opportunity.
In fact he is in So Cal now working out for other teams. He may not make it but he is further developing his work ethic which he will use the rest of his life
Sarcasm.... Not very successful in life? I suppose it all comes down to how one defines being successful in life.
I agree with you. He is probably going to get some kind of deal and expect him to spend time in the G League. From there you might see 10 day contracts and a move up, as with most things in life he needs to be in the right situation at the right time.
From what I’ve seen he is high character and pro sport organizations value that, even if your down the depth chart.
Meister your post is spot on. Why criticize any Marshall athlete who is pursuing a dream? None of us should. It’s Jon’s life and his dream to pursue. We should be thankful he accomplished what he did at Marshall and support his every effort to make the next level.
Actually, if he can get into the Euro League, that would get him much more money and a great shot at the NBA.
That is the 2nd best basketball league in the world. The NBA gets a lot of players from there. That is precisely why the D'Antoni brothers both told Ajdin to go there instead of the G League. HE will get to play against superior talent over there along with more money.
No crap but would you rather have a guy be able to make it down the floor in 3 seconds or a guy make it down the court in 6?
Depends on what else he can do and/or what I need him for.

That is, Herdmeister, if one "gets to play". Word from earlier this year was that Ajdin was doing very little playing and a lot of riding the pine! If true, then another year at MU would have been better for him in the long run, IMO.
he was injured early and then played behind a guy that had been a league all start for a few years. When he did play, he played well and he had a very nice 6 figure salary to boot. I see that a coupe days ago he had 13 points, 10 rebounds and 3 steals in a game.
